Practices

Litigation Management

With decades of collective experience, our team develops and coordinates discovery and litigation strategies with trial counsel across the U.S. and successfully handles complex discovery issues and projects. Our discovery professionals ensure consistency in discovery and defense strategies across cases while allowing flexibility depending on the jurisdiction and case-specific facts. We are up-to-date on emerging discovery issues and develop and implement defensible discovery practices, including information preservation, search and review protocols, and procedures to ensure protection of privileged information, including trade secrets.

We regularly assist trial counsel in the following areas:

formulating and implementing a defense strategy;
preparing discovery objections and responses;
drafting discovery-related motions;
participating in discovery-related hearings and conferences as the client's dedicated discovery counsel;
collecting and reviewing information that is potentially responsive to discovery requests;
identifying information that supports the client’s position and strategy;
preparing productions of non-privileged responsive information;
protecting trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information by obtaining and enforcing protective orders and redacting protected information;
preparing corporate representatives for deposition; and
tracking the dissemination of proprietary information and collecting confidential information at the conclusion of the case.

Representative Litigation Management matters:

National Discovery and Coordinating Counsel for global companies in product liability and asbestos matters.
Management of electronic discovery involving millions of records in multiple dockets across the country, including class actions and multi-district litigation.
Coordinated a key word search of archived hard drives and responsiveness review of more than one million potentially relevant files and provided litigation counsel with responsive documents in a format that could be easily loaded into any discovery management system and bates numbered for production. By using our services, the client cut the original projected costs by more than half.
Conducted a time-sensitive review of designated trial exhibits and prepared a motion to protect those exhibits from public disclosure when introduced and discussed at trial. Our efforts enabled trial counsel to focus on trial preparation and prevented the public disclosure of the client’s confidential information.
Processed and reviewed more than 7,000 potentially responsive documents culled by the client’s IT team and provided the client with responsive documents in a production format in less than one week.
Reviewed trial transcripts before public release and identified confidential information that qualified for sealing pursuant to the local court rules. We also prepared and obtained an affidavit from the client’s representative to support the continued protection of that confidential information from public disclosure.
