Litigation Support Services for Trial Attorneys

Complaint drafting, answer drafting, Rule 12 motion practice (12(b)(6), 12(b)(1), 12(c)), and replies. Pleadings drafted to the controlling jurisdiction's Twombly/Iqbal pleading standard and local rule formatting.

Interrogatories, requests for production, requests for admission, and the corresponding objections and responses. Drafted to the local civil rules' numerical limits and the protective order's confidentiality designations.

First-level relevance review, privilege flagging, redaction prep, and production-log maintenance on Relativity, Everlaw, or Reveal. Privilege calls escalate to the trial attorney; first-pass relevance moves through the bench.

Page-line summary indices with exhibit cross-references and issue tags. Same-day turnaround available on transcripts received before 3 PM ET for trial-prep sprints.

Statement of facts with record citations, brief support, expert-designation drafting, and Daubert-motion support. Drafted to the controlling jurisdiction's Rule 56 standard and the judge's individual rules.

Pretrial order drafting, exhibit index construction with deposition cross-references, jury-instruction research and drafting, witness binders, and the trial-evidence binder for the trial attorney's lectern.

Citation passes on briefs and motions, Bluebook conformance, record-citation verification, and table-of-authorities drafting. Pairs with our research bench for cases that need new authority research alongside the cite check.

PACER/CM-ECF e-filing packets, state-court ECF packets, courtesy-copy mechanics, and judge-specific standing-order conformance. Filing signature stays with the trial attorney; we prepare the packet.

“Eleven-attorney commercial litigation firm, four active cases in heavy discovery, and our paralegal bench was tapped out on the e-discovery review for the lead case. Engaged Legal Tank on a per-matter litigation-support retainer: first-pass review on Relativity, privilege flagging escalating to our lead partner, and weekly production logs. Three weeks in we cleared the backlog without pulling associates off depositions, and the privilege calls held up on a Rule 37 motion brought by the opposing side.”

“Solo personal-injury practice, a complex products case with eight depositions taken in two weeks, and a trial date six weeks out. Their deposition-summary bench turned around page-line summaries with exhibit cross-references on a same-day cadence for the entire deposition stack, then built the trial exhibit index against those summaries. I walked into voir dire with the binder, the witness file, and the deposition page-line index already cross-referenced. Verdict came back in our favor.”

“Mid-size employment-litigation boutique, summary-judgment season landed three motions across three cases at once. Their litigation-support drafter built the statements of undisputed fact with record citations on all three, plus first drafts of the brief support sections. Our partners did the final argument-and-strategy pass on each brief, signed under our own firm letterhead, and we got rulings in our favor on two of the three motions. Cleared the SJ season without burning associate hours we needed on trial prep.”

“Regional insurance-defense firm with a heavy state-court civil docket and a permanent demand for discovery responses on tight statutory clocks. Standing litigation-support retainer with Legal Tank covers interrogatories, RFP responses, and RFA responses across the docket. Their drafter pulls the privilege log against the firm's running privilege ledger, and our partner reviews and signs every response. Throughput is up roughly fifty percent on written discovery without adding headcount.”
