Litigation Support, E-Discovery to Trial-Binder Assembly
Litigation support services delivered with flat-fee pricing, two rounds of revisions, and licensed-attorney sign-off in your jurisdiction.
Where Litigation Support Saves the Most Time
Litigation support services are the operational and document-intensive activities that keep a civil case moving: drafting pleadings and motions, processing discovery, summarizing depositions, building trial binders, and managing exhibits. Solo attorneys and small firms use litigation support services to scale capacity without hiring full-time paralegals or losing focus on courtroom strategy. Legal Tank's litigation support services span the full case lifecycle from complaint through appeal, with attorney-supervised work and 50-state coverage.
Why This Matters
Solo attorneys and small firms typically lose 10 to 20 billable hours per week to operational and document-intensive work that does not require a law license. A right-sized litigation support services engagement reclaims that time so the attorney can focus on negotiation, courtroom appearances, and client counseling. Legal Tank's flat-fee pricing makes the math predictable.

Drafting Engagements That Pair With Litigation Support
Litigation Support Questions From Solo and Mid-Size Firms
What does litigation support do?
Litigation support handles the operational and document-intensive activities that keep a civil case moving forward: drafting pleadings and motions, processing and producing discovery, summarizing depositions, organizing exhibits, building trial binders, managing the case calendar, and supporting trial preparation. The litigation support team works under attorney supervision and frees the supervising attorneys to focus on strategy, negotiation, and courtroom appearances.
What is a litigation service?
A litigation service is any vendor or in-house function that supports civil or criminal litigation outside of the courtroom advocacy itself: court reporting, ediscovery, expert-witness support, jury consulting, trial graphics, and document drafting. Legal Tank focuses on the document-drafting and case-management slice of litigation services: pleadings, motions, discovery, deposition summaries, and trial-prep work product, all delivered under attorney supervision.
What is the difference between a litigator and a lawyer?
Every litigator is a lawyer, but not every lawyer is a litigator. A litigator is a lawyer who specializes in the resolution of disputes through civil or criminal court proceedings, including pleadings, motion practice, discovery, depositions, trial, and appeals. Transactional lawyers focus on contracts, deals, and counseling without going to court. Litigation support services are particularly valuable to litigators because most litigators bill at 300 to 900 dollars per hour and benefit from offloading 50 to 150 dollar paralegal-tier work.
What is the meaning of litigation support?
Litigation support is the body of services and personnel that prepares and manages the documents, exhibits, technology, and logistics of a civil or criminal lawsuit. The term covers paralegal-level drafting, ediscovery review, trial-presentation technology, court-reporting coordination, and witness-management work. At Legal Tank, litigation support is the front-line operational layer that keeps cases moving without overloading the supervising attorneys.
What is litigation assistance?
Litigation assistance is a broader term that covers any work product or service supplied to a party in litigation other than the party's own attorneys: paralegal drafting, expert-witness services, jury consulting, court reporting, document review vendors, and ediscovery providers. Legal Tank's litigation assistance offering is heavily focused on the drafting and case-management functions because that is where solo attorneys and small firms have the highest unmet need.
