We are well-equipped to handle cases that are complex and document intensive. Our team’s depth of experience allows us to simplify and clearly communicate your matter to judges, juries, mediators and arbitrators.
Pretrial Strategy
From the start, we use our technical and legal experience to determine the best course of action to secure favorable results economically. To understand your case, we formulate appropriate and thorough litigation strategies through witness selection and preparation, oral arguments, depositions, document production and drafting of legal memoranda and motions to find and execute a decisive argument.
We have the capabilities to examine millions of documents through electronic discovery. We work with forensic investigators and former FBI analysts to convert electronically stored information into a format that is usable and effective in litigation through metadata analysis and forensic examination and restoration. The success of high-volume eDiscovery starts early and requires foresight and strategic planning to streamline review and production of what could be an unmanageable quantity of documents. Our attorneys develop an eDiscovery plan which includes management of documents, negotiation of terms and parameters, execution of examining documents, evaluation for privilege, and determination of methods to effectively leverage this information in court. Our capability in handling eDiscovery is extremely useful in intellectual property and complex litigation matters.
While we are always prepared to go to trial, we pursue pre-trial options through creative settlement options and alternative dispute resolutions when appropriate. We have a team of trial attorneys who are comfortable in the courtroom and experienced in trying issues before judges and juries. No matter the method used to resolve your matter, we are cognizant and considerate of your business and financial goals and look for cost-effective and case-effective solutions.
