Yes. We assign VAs with background experience in legal transcription or paralegal admin for projects requiring Bluebook or AGLC standards. Your PM will verify that all "Ibid." and pin-cites are formatted according to your specific jurisdictional rules.

We use a "Human-in-the-loop" approach. We leverage industry-leading tools like Zotero or EndNote for speed, but our VAs manually verify every entry against the source document. We catch errors that automated generators miss, such as incorrect capitalization in titles or missing publisher cities.

Security is absolute. All Sagedoer team members operate under strict corporate NDAs. We can work directly inside your secure Google Docs or Microsoft Word Online environment, ensuring your manuscript never leaves your company's cloud ecosystem.
