Our AroTRON Product Owner, Dr. Panos Psomas, shares his insights on transforming litigation management from a cost burden into a strategic advantage.

Litigation Management Challenges 

Litigation management is inherently complex because no two organisations follow the same playbook: a retail bank might outsource the entire process and focus on high-level oversight. At the same time, an in-house legal team must choreograph every procedural step in granular detail. Debt-recovery cases further complicate matters with branching paths—creditors often pursue amicable settlements alongside formal actions, proceedings must run concurrently for borrowers and guarantors, and each move is constrained by evolving debtor-protection laws and unpredictable court rulings.

Enforcement adds another layer of nuance: every step is tethered to pledged collateral, yet lien priorities can shift the workflow whenever multiple creditors claim the same asset.

Meanwhile, the documentary foundation is often shaky, paperwork may be incomplete, inconsistent with system data, or simply too intricate to model or generate without specialist templates and rules. To maintain a single source of truth, seamless integration with document-management platforms is essential; and at the high NPL volumes that most credit institutions face, extensive automation is non-negotiable, provided it is paired with officers’ supervision to detect exceptions before they become costly errors.

How is Process Flexibility Achieved? 

AroTRON turns litigation’s diversity from a headache into a design choice by letting you build any legal process using simple user-friendly components. An open, interconnected-process model breaks each action into sequenced subtasks, assigns them to configurable roles—lawyer, bailiff, court clerk, cadaster registrar, and more—sets mandatory checkpoints, automates fee postings, and binds every step to the collateral record so lien changes are captured at the source. Outcome codes are equally malleable: whenever a hearing concludes or an appraisal land, a single click can trigger the next workflow and auto-generate the required documents from template libraries. Front-loaded eligibility filters sift through portfolios to pre-select the accounts that qualify for a given litigation step; officers can review supporting data on one screen and launch hundreds of tailored processes in bulk. Throughout the case lifecycle, Relationship Managers, Amicable Collection Agents and the Legal Team work in parallel on the same file, each seeing only the tasks and documents relevant to their role, yet everyone shares a real-time, audit-secure view of progress.

Need a Proof? Broad adoption across 25 legal jurisdictions!

Sixty live installations spread across Europe and the Middle East and 25 distinct legal jurisdictions prove the litigation module’s adaptability. Localisation layers cover language, currency, and legal procedure configurable workflows, ensuring easy and self-service maintenance.

Twenty years of feedback from lawyers, asset managers and product teams have produced a complete ruleset for every phase of the legal journey: from demand letters to auction scheduling. Default templates accelerate rollouts, while granular parameters let power users adjust deadlines, document packs and SLA triggers without developer support.

Corporate Workout Support 

Complex corporate exposures are very challenging to manage. Backed by a robust Business Party Relationships model, AroTRON orchestrates restructurings that span parent companies, subsidiaries and complex collateral schemes. Landmark deployments in Tier-1 banks and Servicers as well as specialized combined portfolios (e.g. Solar) demonstrate its ability to coordinate multilateral negotiations, covenant tracking and milestone approvals in one workspace.

Web Lawyer Portal – Collaboration without barriers 

AroTRON offering includes Web Lawyer Portal, a secure workspace where external counsel receives assignments, upload filings and capture hearing results directly into the case record. Web lawyer portal is a part of AroTRON Web Application itself, properly configured in terms of access and authorizations, does not require any desktop installation and significantly accelerates cycle times while preserving full auditing and real-time updates of activities’ progress enabling decision making.

AI–Based Document Intelligence 

AroTRON’s AI-Based Document Intelligence removes the final manual bottleneck in litigation management by analyzing court documents, writs and contractual annexes with the precision of a trained paralegal—only at machine speed. A deep-learning pipeline pinpoints parties, rulings, lien-ranking changes, monetary awards, deadlines and next-step obligations, then maps each element to the correct fields in AroTRON’s case file. Officers receive a clean preview that can automatically update the system upon approval.  

The same engine cross-checks every clause against the data already stored in the system and flags discrepancies, such as mismatched loan numbers, collateral descriptions or judgment amounts, before they propagate downstream to accounting, reporting or outbound communications. Because the model is periodically updated based on user feedback, its accuracy grows with every document processed, turning once-opaque filings into structured, audit-ready intelligence with zero operational effort. 

From servicers and legal offices to Tier1 banks, organisations choose AroTRON because it fuses legal expertise with future-proof technology. If your recovery strategy demands both sophistication and scale, the Legal & Recoveries Module delivers maturity you can measure. Partner with us and turn legal risk into a competitive recovery advantage.
