DISCLOSURE AND CONSENT BY CLIENT: ASSOCIATION OF ADDITIONAL ATTORNEYS.  If your jurisdiction requires you to advise the client of any fee splitting or sharing work with another firm before that work is done. This form documents your advice and gives you a written record of consent by the client.

Today’s legal staff has to keep 30 or more cases actively in process at all times. And each of those dozens of cases can become a labyrinthine nightmare of pretrial discovery, pretrial motions, and court rulings setting deadlines and tasks.  Getting into the final preparation for trial is a relief!  As a litigation professional, you need to know not only the best way to handle all the paperwork, but also the strategies that can maximize your impact on the adversary. You need to know about the best Standard Operating Procedures, best practices, using checklists and forms with your clients and witnesses, electronic evidence gathering, deposition techniques, and organizing your trial notebook. That's why we offer them to you.
