About Litigen

Built alongside trial teams.

Litigen brings deposition video and evidence tools into one connected workflow. Our purpose is straightforward: help legal teams prepare thoroughly and put command of the evidence in the lawyer’s hands.

From reviewing testimony to bringing an exhibit on screen, each step supports the next—so preparation carries forward into clear, confident presentation.

Built from a real trial team’s challenge.

In 2016, a longtime friend challenged Litigen founder Jay Rutler to bring his problem-solving experience into legal technology. As lead partner at a plaintiff’s firm, his friend was preparing for a major case. Even with leading legal software, the work of preparing documents and video for depositions and trial was overwhelming his staff.

Jay saw a familiar systems problem: disconnected tools were creating extra work between information and action. He assembled a development team to build a connected evidence workflow.

Within months, the team had a working prototype supporting the case. Litigen was shaped through real preparation, depositions, and trial—working with hundreds of thousands of document pages and hundreds of hours of video.

Engineering a simpler path from information to action.

Jay’s background spans manufacturing automation and product design, from casino gaming products to the data center market. His work connects customer-facing products with the operational systems needed to build and deliver them at scale.

That experience informs his One-Touch Philosophy: remove friction between information and action.

He founded Litigen to bring engineering precision and operational clarity to evidence preparation—keeping evidence active and connected from collection through courtroom engagement.

Built through real cases. Shaped by trial teams.

A trial lawyer’s perspective.

“Litigen allows me to take control of the courtroom or deposition. The jurors see that I have complete control of the facts and the evidence. More importantly, they see that I am engaging them with the truth.”
