In modern litigation, discovery isn’t just a pretrial procedure in a lawsuit to obtain evidence from other parties, it’s where litigation is won or lost. It’s where the strength of a case can be sharpened or silently eroded.
The Reality: What Attorneys Face During Discovery
Even the most experienced litigation teams find themselves wrestling with the complex realities of discovery.
Here are the most common challenges that bog down attorneys and their staff:
1. Overwhelming Volume of Data
Today’s litigation isn’t paper- bound, it’s data-driven. Huge volumes of data fall under discoverable material.
This makes the collection, sorting, and filtering of documents a highly burdensome task.
Even large firms struggle to manage volume without delay or error. For small and mid-sized firms, the burden is often unsustainable.
2. Time-Consuming Review Processes
Manual document review is not just tedious, it’s expensive as well.
Skilled attorneys often get pulled away from legal analysis and courtroom prep to wade through repetitive records.
The cost of this diversion is not only financial, but also strategic.
3. Tight Timelines & Compliance Pressures
Courts rarely grant leniency on discovery deadlines.
A delay in propounding or responding to discovery requests can lead to sanctions, exclusion of evidence, or judicial disapproval.
Meeting deadlines requires coordination, precision, and bandwidth, something even high-performing firms struggle to consistently maintain.
4. Incomplete or Evasive Responses from Opposing Counsel
As an attorney you’ll know that Discovery isn’t a one-way street.
As a matter of fact, many find themselves receiving vague or inadequate responses, forcing them to initiate lengthy “meet and confer” processes to compel transparency.
These exchanges can turn adversarial fast, costing time and momentum.
