We have a deep bench experienced in various multifaceted case management issues, including e-discovery, large-volume document collection, production and review, and multi-jurisdictional, multi-action, multi-party discovery.

Cost is a key component of a successful conclusion to litigation. We exercise our reasoned judgments–collectively and individually–to provide cost-effective and value-added representation without compromising quality. We pay close attention to the bottom line, making effective use of associates and paralegals when appropriate and rely on our business acumen and decades of matter management experience.
