Complex civil litigation presents a unique set of challenges that differ from many more routine matters. Complex cases tend to involve extensive and expensive discovery, large numbers of documents, complicated relationships amongst the parties and interwoven and often contradictory legal arguments. Further, complex cases often involve both a great degree of risk and potential exposure to the parties involved.

Too often, law firms simply “throw bodies” at large cases. The case quickly turns into a morass of high legal expenses, and an insoluble problem. Our approach is different. We apply maximum effective pressure sensitive to the needs of a case and our clients.

While some cases in court are more mundane and routine matters, our firm specializes in cases that are highly complex and technical. There are certain constants in cases that we would describe as “complex civil litigation”. First, the cases typically involve a high degree of factual, technical, and procedural complexity. Second, the legal issues presented by the case tend to be legion, whether they arise out of a complicated transaction, a lengthy contract, or a myriad of possible legal theories that can be asserted in the case. Third, the cases tend to involve high stakes in terms of the risks and rewards to the parties.

Our lawyers are adept at handling highly complex, document intensive cases. We understand that even a highly complicated set of facts or legal arguments must be presented clearly and simply to the judge or jury to be understandable. We are familiar with the need to avoid losing the forest for the trees.

We cultivate lawyers and staff who appreciate the joy of finding the proverbial needle in the haystack. Complex litigation often involves extensive review, analysis and organization of documents and the need to present those documents in a persuasive and convincing fashion. We are familiar with these requirements and deal with them on a regular basis in our practice.
