Litigation Management

One of the highest risk areas of any corporate legal department is the risk attached to its litigation portfolio. As litigation is subject to several external and uncontrollable factors, it is difficult to accurately budget legal expenses and to predict any outcome. Further, the company is at risk of facing adverse judgments which are usually disproportionate to the cause of action.

The typical lawsuit can take between two to five years to run its course. During the suit, management must supervise the lawsuit and devote significant resources to defending or prosecuting the lawsuit. This diverts management’s time from pursuing the core business of the company. Different outside counsel can be unaccountable and can take different approaches, making them difficult to reliably supervise.

Not only are litigation fees unpredictable, they can become a steady, monthly drain on profitability. These risks are especially acute for the company with litigations being contested or defended simultaneously in several jurisdictions.

Trosa approach is that litigation should be quantitatively and systematically managed like every other aspect of your business operations with a clear focus on tracking, managing & disposing the litigations.

General Counsel needs a report on how each case will be managed in the months ahead, but as one sits down to reconcile the status of each case, and assess the billing statements of each firm against plans, she has a hard time sorting out exactly where things stand, as what she is looking at seems to bear little resemblance to the case plans received months ago.
