Workflow

Overview

Preparing expert witness designations is tedious and time-consuming, requiring you to manually compile case details, summarize expert qualifications, extract opinions from lengthy reports, and ensure FRCP 26 compliance. A single designation can consume 4-5 hours of billable time, pulling you away from case strategy and client work.
