Practice system

Litigation & Disputes, run as a system.

Civil, commercial and general litigation: pleadings, discovery, motions, trial.

Court-deadline-driven. The scheduling order is the spine of the matter, and the moment it's entered, the whole cascade of cutoffs hangs off it.

Questions

Before you book the call.

Do you build a matter management system specifically for litigation & disputes practices?
Yes. It runs on the same MATTER Method as everything else I build, configured for how litigation & disputes actually moves: Court-deadline-driven. The scheduling order is the spine of the matter, and the moment it's entered, the whole cascade of cutoffs hangs off it.
What does the system actually track for a litigation & disputes matter?
Every stage from intake to post-trial, the facts that matter most for this practice (statute of limitations, discovery cutoff, trial date), the document set the matter actually produces, and one computed read: amount-in-controversy tracker, claimed damages vs. evidence-supported damages, flagged past 40% divergence.
Can I get this through MatterOS, or does it need a custom build?
Both. It ships as a configured practice pack inside MatterOS for solo and small-firm workflows, or as a private, purpose-built system when a firm needs more control over data, integrations or workflow. Either way, we start with a short call to see which fits.
Do you also handle litigation technology and expert witness work for these matters?
Separately, yes, under the same practice. If a matter needs digital evidence structured or presented in a US courtroom rather than just tracked, that is the second half of what I do. See the Services page for how that engagement runs.

Bring me the litigation & disputes matter. I've probably built this before.
