WASHINGTON, DC [February 2, 2026] — Align, the only digital case binder platform built by a trial lawyer focused exclusively on litigation, is transforming litigation workflows in leading law firms—from boutique practices to AmLaw 100 powerhouses. Align is revolutionizing how these firms prepare, organize, and present their most complex cases. Attorneys who have adopted the platform report fundamental shifts in how they manage litigation, reclaiming their practice from the digital data dump of modern document management systems.

 

The productivity challenge facing all lawyers is stark. Despite billions invested in legal technology, litigation professionals still average a meager 38% utilization rate, billing just 3 hours per day according to Clio’s 2025 Legal Trends Report. To that end, innovation in the realm of litigation workflows has been surprisingly minimal, creating a critical gap where litigators themselves are falling behind. 

“We built Align because I spent two decades watching talented lawyers and paralegals waste hours on binder logistics instead of case strategy and management,” said Sam Davidoff, CEO of Align and former litigation partner at Williams & Connolly. “The shift from paper to digital should have made litigators more productive. Instead, it turned organized binders into sprawling mazes of folders and workspaces thatno one can navigate. Align gives that organization and time back with a digital binder platform.”

The revolution is underway. Partners across the country who have adopted Align say the platform is fundamentally changing how they prepare for trial and manage litigation.

Michael Bookman, a partner at Babin, Bessner, Spry, comments: “Align has completely changed how I practice as it solves the modern lawyer’s core problem of turning overwhelming data into something organized, accessible, and ready for legal action.”

Bookman continues: “Instead of feeling demoralized by mountains of unorganized data, I spend my time litigating. I am more prepared, more effective, and I enjoy my practice more because of it. Litigation is a team sport and Align finally gives us a shared playbook.” 

Steve Faraci, a partner at Whiteford, Taylor, & Preston, explains that a key aspect of Align is how easily it fits into existing workflows: “For lawyers who’ve spent decades with physical binders, Align makes the digital transition intuitive. It works the way our brains expect to handle information.” Speaking from his decades as a trial lawyer Faraci notes, “it’s the first platform that replicates how trial binders actually work — only better.”

For attorneys with national practices, the mobility offered by Align is a “logistical game changer.” A partner at an AmLaw 100 firm noted that Align has completely replaced the “reams of binders” and “boxes of paper” he used to haul through airports. Whether at a hearing, witness prep, or motion work, the platform ensures the entire case library is accessible on an iPad.

 

Align is designed to mirror the way lawyers are trained to think, making it an intuitive transition for veterans of physical binders.  Key productivity benefits reported by partners include:

  • True Paperless Practice: Align replicates how trial binders actually work, only with the speed and efficiency of modern technology.
  • Instant Client Service: Attorneys can answer client questions instantly from an iPad, demonstrating they are fully prepared and engaged.
  • Substantive Focus: Align eliminates administrative time spent finding files, allowing every billable hour to go toward deep, analytical legal work.
