What goes wrong with commercial litigation exhibits, and how it is handled
What goes wrongThe exhibits go in as one bookmarked PDF in the order the brief cites them, with a table of contents.
How ExhibitPrep handles itCombining produces one PDF in exhibit order, with an optional table of contents and clickable bookmarks; each contents entry lists the exhibit label, its title when you add one, and the page it starts on.
What goes wrongThe argument moves while you draft, and the exhibit order has to move with it without relabeling by hand.
How ExhibitPrep handles itDrag exhibits into a new order and the labels reassign in that order; exhibit titles stay with their documents.
What goes wrongThe other side's production carries its own Bates range, and your exhibits need page references of their own.
How ExhibitPrep handles itBates numbering adds page numbers with the prefix, starting number and zero padding you set — ABC-001 onward — and the count continues across the documents in a set or restarts in each file.
What goes wrongThe local rule wants a multi-page exhibit internally paginated, so a 60-page agreement has to read 3, 3-2, 3-3 … on every page.
How ExhibitPrep handles itTurn on Number every page of each exhibit and the stamp itself carries the page number — Exhibit 1 on the first page, then Exhibit 1-2, Exhibit 1-3 to the last page — with a hyphen or a period, previewed page by page and read back from every page before the file is delivered.

Commercial Litigation Exhibit FAQ
What exhibits are most common in commercial litigation?
Contracts, email correspondence, financial records, invoices, expert reports, and corporate documents are the most frequently used exhibits in business disputes and breach of contract cases.
How should I organize email exhibits for commercial cases?
Organize emails chronologically or by subject matter thread. Stamp each email with exhibit numbers and include a summary index for large volumes. ExhibitPrep handles batch email processing efficiently.
Can I stamp contract amendments as separate exhibits?
Yes, you can stamp each amendment individually, or combine the base contract and all amendments into a single exhibit binder using ExhibitPrep's combine feature.
What template should I use for multi-party commercial disputes?
ExhibitPrep offers Plaintiff, Defendant, Third-Party Defendant, and Cross-Claim templates. Choose based on your role in the litigation.
How do I handle large financial record exhibits?
Batch upload all financial documents, organize by category (invoices, payments, statements), and use sequential numbering. Consider creating summary exhibits for voluminous records.
