Litigation Support Companies
Sunday, August 27th, 2006Seems like every day I come across a number of new litigation support companies. It’s not too surprising as this is boom time for this industry. In reaction to both cases like BOA and Morgan Stanley and pending law changes to rules covering electronic discovery, lawyers and firms everywhere are evaluating how they manage their cases and the explosion of potentially productive discovery.
What the firms may not know is that their vendors are also working with other litigation support companies to handle the high volume of discovery to process. As example, check out FIOS’ web page. Law firms should look at their litigation support company’s overflow partners. Here’s a second surprise - many large litigation support companies also use smaller, local companies for thier own overflow. Partnering is actually a great thing, so long as you like your project manager and the buck, ultimately, stops with him (or her).
