Building a strong case is a team effort. Once attorneys receive produced documents from opposing counsel, they often need to cooperate with parties inside and outside the firm (i.e. paralegals, litigation support staff and witnesses) to review and annotate confidential material.
This journey is littered with serious pitfalls. Miscommunication, different operating procedures and security breaches can all threaten the integrity of your case. But a little workflow planning and the right shared resources will give your side a key advantage heading into depositions and motion entry.
Takeaways:
- Creating a litigation “battle plan”
- Agreeing on a central repository for documents
- Safely sharing key evidence with involved parties
- Establishing a common organizational system
- Tools for keeping the whole team on task
