Strategic Discovery: Taking Steps to Avoid Litigation’s Black Hole
Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP

Conflict in business is inevitable. A certain amount of business litigation is to be expected. But most of the messy, contentious part of litigation happens long before the parties enter the courtroom for a trial. Pretrial discovery continues to absorb the vast majority of the time and energy that both attorneys and business people spend in the litigation context.

The “discovery continuum" runs from readiness through production. There are emerging problems, issues and trends in pretrial discovery, particularly as affected by the explosion of electronic files. Also, there are some specific trends currently employed to manage the document review process. Acknowledging these trends could help you avoid being sucked into litigation’s “black hole.”

Learn more in the attached summary from an April 2008 Dbriefs Webcast.
