Discovery and Litigation Conflict Resolution The most expensive component of most commercial lawsuits is discovery. As any experienced litigator knows, motions and other procedures for resolving discovery and other disputes that arise in litigation in court are contentious, cumbersome and for the most part ineffective. Motions to compel and other procedures also often introduce a degree of hostility in the litigation procedure that is at best unproductive. We are available to mediate or arbitrate discovery and other routine conflicts that arise in complex litigation and provide the parties an accessible, low-cost and low-risk vehicle for resolving discovery conflicts and avoiding costly discovery motions. Additionally, we can serve as a neutral to help parties negotiate various issues such as: fact stipulations and narrowing issues for summary judgment and trial. By serving in this capacity as the case progresses, we will be better situated to mediate a settlement of the case at the earliest opportunity. |
