Capabilities

We handle a comprehensive range of tasks, from evaluating legal risks and potential claims before the initiation of a lawsuit to ensuring you have the right legal representation once a case is filed. Additionally, we can provide a critical second perspective when your insurance carrier appoints defense counsel and devise innovative solutions for navigating large-scale discovery challenges in complex cases. In today’s economy, cost control is paramount, and having a known team in place to assess your legal risks and oversee your litigation can shield you from unmanageable expenses, external counsel fees, and stress. We manage every aspect of your litigation to facilitate a successful resolution, and will also present litigation assessment to your board. Moreover, we seek to provide value-add such that if during the course of risk or litigation management, we identify a chance that can impact your operations, scale, or resources, we will strive to make recommendations for prospective change.

Our services encompass a wide array of areas, including case evaluation and litigation strategy, budget review, cost review, legal research and analysis, attorney selection, document retention and litigation holds, document review, management of outside counsel, e-discovery, mediation, arbitration, settlement presentations, database management, and deposition preparation and summarization.
