What Is Litigation Support?
Litigation support consultants help attorneys and legal departments manage complex cases by competently covering the bases they might overlook. To remain profitable, many practices need to take on multiple lawsuits at once, but managing a single lawsuit can take weeks of sorting through thousands of pages of arguments and historical documents to form a defensive or offensive stance.
At Key Discovery, we help many lawyers and legal teams adhere to court schedules, meet deadlines, and juggle multiple cases while providing quality defense or prosecutorial services. We understand that lawyers must spend the bulk of their time formulating counterarguments, reviewing case facts, and creating strategies that could help them win in court—not sorting through thousands of pages of irrelevant data. Our litigation support teams can improve their productivity and efficiency by eliminating the burden of back-end work, leading to more favorable out-of-court settlements and litigation performance.
When your hire a litigation support consultant, you will gain an expert that will help you handle the following jobs:
Sourcing relevant legal records. Clients with little to no working knowledge of the legal system cannot be held responsible for providing all the case-related information lawyers need to argue for their side competently.
- Sort through mountains of potentially irrelevant documents. Litigation support teams will extract only the information that can affect the result of a case, even if your opponents try to stonewall you by providing excessive amounts of unhelpful information.
- Schedule appointments with clients, judges, and the opposition. Time is the most precious resource lawyers have, and consultants can help set up meetings, take notes, and review statements from previous conversations to save valuable hours.
- Database management. Litigation support consultants can help attorneys visualize data, structure databases, and compile details to ensure they get relevant and truthful information to use in court.
Best Practices for Litigation Support
Forward-thinking and organizational skills go a long way when providing litigation support services for lawyers. Our professionals routinely sort through trial notes, detailed legal documents, and calendars saturated with hearing dates and appointments. The following best practices help us maintain our position as a top-rated litigation support firm in Boston.
Trial and Settlement Prep
At Key Discovery, we recognize that even though cases settled through trial might be the most exciting, most lawsuits lead to out-of-court settlements that require meticulous documentation. We provide lawyers with the documents, supporting notes, and case facts they need to strengthen their position.
Keeping Clear Lines of Communication
Settling lawsuits requires some give and take between opposing counsels, advice from fellow attorneys, and a clear line of communication between the client and their lawyer. Hiring a litigation support team will prevent mistrials and unnecessary paperwork, helping you search through filing cabinets for notes and records that might help a case move more smoothly.
Bulletproof Security and Confidentiality
Depositions, subpoenas, and witness statements may contain sensitive and incriminating personal information that must remain secure and confidential at all costs. Litigation support professionals understand this, and we will give you the freedom to modify user permissions, select which files you want to see at certain times, and edit access to all case-relevant files.
Technology Assistance and Expertise
Our litigation support teams at Key Discovery are proficient in a broad range of legal software programs. We provide trial support for attorneys who can now take notes in real-time, present case facts clearly, and visualize data to make dates, amounts, and other numbers easier to remember. Whether you want to present your argument using 3D graphics, scrolling texts, or videos, a consultant will have the technical know-how to make it happen.
Who Uses Litigation Support Professionals?
Legal firms, private attorneys, and corporate legal departments use litigation support consultants to help them meet court-mandated deadlines they would otherwise miss without professional help.
For example, corporate lawsuits might involve serving subpoenas to individuals that are challenging to track down. Sourcing admissible information from witnesses in line with a legal strategy can be tricky, especially when a legal team is inside an unfamiliar jurisdiction. Drafting complex legal documents like claims, affidavits, lease agreements, and demand letters are also within the purview of litigation support professionals.
Litigation support for attorneys helps clients, judges, and businesses save valuable time by having a professional collect, review, process, and analyze data using eDiscovery and other digital solutions to expedite the legal process.
