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.
