Learn why:
- Trial is the lens, not the destination
- Discovery decisions limit trial options
- Risk reduction decreases pressure
Run discovery like trial strategy so every collection, search, and review call builds a story you can defend in court.
Lead with clear options and trade-offs (not jargon) so clients can make fast, informed choices with real case impact.
Use tone and tight communication to prevent fire drills, reduce errors, and stay aligned when pressure spikes.
Do the behind-the-scenes work that catches gaps early, avoids rework, and averts late-stage disasters.
Protect the case by creating backup plans early, so urgency never forces bad decisions (even when the stakes are high).
