Details of Service
Litigation support incorporates many areas. First our strategy on how to build the best offense or defense is put together working with your internal group and your counsel. We evaluate the issue(s) at hand that have led to litigation. We review the scientific merit of your stance and those of your opposition. Our team applies an hypothesis approach, anticipating the scientific options that could be considered by opposing counsel and we provide the path to evaluate proactively those hypothesis. If you are in the midst of litigation, we can review discovery of the opposing party (ies), define what discovery should be requested for your best interest, provide insightful scientific questions for depositions, and provide the best scientist or executive for the deposition. Understanding the holes in the science, issues that can be raised specific to the situation can help you proactively defend your position effectively.
