Add Outside Trial Counsel to the Matter
Our role can remain focused on defined work, expand into shared courtroom responsibilities, or extend through primary or sole trial counsel.
Choose the Level of Responsibility
The scope of outside trial counsel can match the matter rather than forcing the matter into a fixed engagement model.
Defined Assignment
Use outside trial counsel for a specific issue, hearing, witness, evidentiary matter, phase of litigation, or portion of trial.
Shared Responsibility
Divide preparation or courtroom responsibilities while the engaging attorney remains actively involved.
Primary Trial Responsibility
Transition broader preparation and courtroom responsibility while the originating attorney remains involved at the level selected.
Sole Trial Counsel
Entrust the trial to outside trial counsel when the matter calls for complete courtroom responsibility.
Two Primary Ways to Engage
Targeted Trial Support
Define the assignment. Keep the broader case with your firm.
Handle defined litigation or trial work without expanding the engagement beyond what the matter requires.

Trial Readiness Review and Trial Notebook Development remain available when the matter calls for independent assessment, preparation, or a courtroom-ready working system.
Outside the Firm. Integrated Into the Case.
Outside trial counsel can take responsibility for defined work or broader trial functions while fitting into the case structure already in place.
The engaging attorney decides what stays with the firm, what shifts to outside trial counsel, and whether that allocation changes as the matter develops.
