Cost Containment
Litigation costs incurred in complex "bet the company" cases can be substantial if proactive measures are not taken to curb and control legal fees and costs.
We regularly assist clients and insurers in implementing billing guidelines and cost controls in ongoing complex litigation to insure that costs and fees incurred by outside counsel are both reasonable and necessary.
We have significant expertise in legal cost containment, legal fee analysis, litigation management, and in the evaluation and management of legal fees in complex litigation. The firm’s partners have testified as legal fee experts in the independent evaluation of hundreds of millions of dollars incurred as legal fees in national mass tort cases, complex construction disputes, environmental coverage cases and a broad spectrum of nationwide litigation.
