Strategic Discovery: Taking Steps to Avoid Litigation’s Black Hole
Download PDF  Dbrief Webcast
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. Pre-trial discovery continues to absorb the vast majority of the time and energy that both attorneys and business people spend in the litigation context.
Our participants explored the “discovery continuum,” from readiness through production. They looked at emerging problems, issues, and trends in pre-trial discovery, particularly as affected by the explosion of electronic files. Finally, they discussed 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.”
