Frequently asked questions.
What it is.
-
At its most basic it’s a tool for building structured, court ready electronic bundles. You import your documents, and it handles the pagination, the index, and the hyperlinking automatically. The contents section updates as you edit, so the bundle stays correct no matter how many times it changes before a hearing.
-
Automatic pagination, indexing and hyperlinked contents. Full text search across every document, including text inside scanned images, using OCR. Built in redaction. Highlighting, sticky notes and comments. A tracked activity log. And real time collaboration, so your team works on the same bundle at once rather than emailing versions back and forth.
-
More than litigation bundles. Bundle Studio handles briefs, affidavits, personal injury claims, immigration packs, probate bundles, property development packs, and general matter preparation. If your team assembles multi document packs by hand today, it fits.
-
Yes. Bundles are built to court bundle protocol standards, with the pagination, indexing and navigation courts expect. The automation is what removes the small formatting errors that creep into a hand built bundle and cause problems on the day.
Why it’s different.
-
One question usually settles it: is your current tool a cost you can recover? Most bundling tools sit as firm overhead. Bundle Studio charges per bundle, recorded against the matter, so the cost can be passed on as a disbursement. The tool stops being something the firm absorbs and becomes something the matter carries.
-
No. Recipients do not need an account or a licence to receive and use a bundle. That removes the usual friction of sending a bundle to a barrister, the other side, or the court, and it means there is no reason for anyone on the receiving end to push back.
-
Hyperlinking is the slowest and most error prone part of manual bundling. Bundle Studio scans your imported documents, detects references, and applies the hyperlinks in bulk. It takes the step most likely to go wrong by hand and helps you do it in a few clicks.
-
Firms using it report saving hours of manual work every month, and that even experienced teams gain from the automation. The bigger saving is the time not spent fixing pagination and links after a late document gets added.

Getting started.
-
You are charged per bundle, not per seat or per user. Because the charge attaches to a specific matter, it can be treated as a recoverable cost and, where your practice management system supports it, recorded automatically to the client ledger.
-
On a net basis, nothing. The per bundle fee is a legitimate cost recovery, so it can be recovered from the client the bundle is for, the same way other matter costs are. The firm gets the tool and the time saving while the cost is passed through at the matter level.
Cost recovery aligns with standard legal billing practice. Recovery is at the firm's discretion per matter.
-
No. It is built to be intuitive, and most teams are up and running quickly. Account activation is free, training is included, and our Client Success team supports you through onboarding.
-
No. Bundle Studio is a standalone tool. It pairs naturally with the rest of the File Republic platform, but you can use it on its own for bundling without moving your storage or archive across.
