John Conlon & Legal Points . . . provides assistance in all phases of a company’s litigation management program.
Litigation Guidelines
Assistance in drafting litigation guidelines from scratch or updating existing litigation guidelines to mirror attorney ethical and legal obligations. Having litigation guidelines that correctly set out requirements that are both consistent with your litigation objectives and consistent with attorneys' ethical and legal obligations eliminates both confusion and disagreements on what attorneys can be required attorneys to do as part of their representation.
Outside Counsel Selection & Evaluation Process
Assistance in developing appropriate processes for selection of outside counsel. Assistance can also be provided in developing processes for appropriate evaluation of outside counsel.
Vendor Evaluation & Selection
Assistance in helping you evaluate litigation management related vendor programs such as national court reporters, e-billing companies, matter management programs, and many others. Also, assistance can be provided in due diligence investigations on vendors and assist in developing appropriate RFPs.
Litigation Management Training
On-site hands-on training to your staff on all phases of litigation file handling. Training is designed to help non-attorney file handlers gain the practical knowledge they need to make better decisions in their litigated files and have the confidence necessary to work with experienced outside counsel.
Legal Efficiency Reviews
Statistics indicate that TPAs and other third parties who handle litigation on a third party basis typically pay out 3% to 5% more in legal costs per file than insurers who handle their own litigated files. If a third party is managing your litigation, Legal Points can perform a "legal efficiency review" to ensure that third party litigation managers are not only correctly handling, but correctly paying litigated files. If needed, Legal Points can provide expert analysis and recommendations on any changes that need to be made to improve efficiency or cost effectiveness.
