The End of Legal “Walls of Text”: How a New AI Algorithm Saves Hours When Reviewing Counterparties’ Court Cases

Any CFO, lawyer, or business owner knows the basic rule of compliance: before signing a contract, you need to check your counterparty. While tax debts or bankruptcy status can be verified in just a few clicks, analyzing court records has always been a challenge.

Reading court rulings requires time and specialized expertise. Legal language is complex, documents are lengthy, and understanding the essence of a dispute that has lasted for years may require working through dozens of pages of text. We believe that in the era of open data and artificial intelligence, it should not be this way.

Today, we’d like to explain how improvements to our AI algorithms are transforming the due diligence process and making company assessments in the Business Reputation Dossier services on edrpou.ubki.ua and in Privat24 for Business even faster and easier.

The Evolution of Analytics: From Plain Text to Clear Structure

Previously, our AI-powered tool could already generate brief summaries of court cases. This was a major step forward: instead of reading an entire document, users could review a single paragraph containing the key points. However, even that format had limitations. A continuous block of text still required careful reading to extract important details such as who owed whom, the current stage of the proceedings, and the court’s reasoning.

What Has Changed?
We retrained our court document analysis model. Now, the AI does more than summarize text — it performs deep semantic analysis and extracts five key aspects of every case.

The 5 Elements of the New Summary

When you open a court case card in the Business Reputation Dossier service and request an AI analysis, the system generates a structured summary consisting of five sections:

  • Parties: the system automatically extracts and classifies all participants in the proceedings (claimant, defendant, third parties). You immediately see their roles without having to search through the introductory section of the ruling.
  • Essence: a concise description of the dispute. For example: debt recovery under a loan agreement, recognition of unlawful inaction, or termination of a lease agreement.
  • Case review: a chronological overview of key events. The AI builds a timeline of court decisions with dates (for example: left without movement → proceedings opened → hearing scheduled).
  • Motivation: the most valuable section for legal professionals. It contains the court’s key arguments, references to relevant procedural codes (Civil Procedure Code, Commercial Procedure Code, Administrative Procedure Code), and the factual grounds underlying the decision.
  • The end result: the current status of the case at the moment of your request. You can instantly understand whether the case has been won, lost, appealed, or is still at the initial stage of proceedings.

What Does This Mean for Business in Terms of Efficiency and Risk Management?

The introduction of structured AI summaries solves three major challenges for businesses:

  1. Significant Time Savings. Reviewing a structured summary takes about 10 seconds. Instead of spending 10–15 minutes studying a single ruling, a lawyer or risk specialist can analyze dozens of cases in just a few minutes. This substantially reduces the operational costs of customer and counterparty verification.
  2. Reduced Cognitive Load. The structured format minimizes human error. The risk of overlooking a critical detail — for example, that the court has already frozen the defendant’s bank accounts — is dramatically reduced.
  3. Behavior Pattern Detection. Structured data makes it easy to distinguish routine business disputes from signs of systemic risk. One lawsuit challenging a fine is normal business practice. Dozens of similar cases in the «Essence» section where a company repeatedly appears as a defendant for unpaid services are a clear red flag for potential cooperation.

Analytics Available to Everyone

Our goal is to make high-quality compliance tools accessible not only to large corporations with entire legal departments, but also to individual entrepreneurs who want to protect their money before entering into contracts.
