Litigation consists of many moving parts and can become very confusing, especially if the case is deemed complex. Managing multiple parties and deadlines, along with potentially thousands of documents, can be quite a headache. Simplifying litigation has long been the stated goal of most litigation support providers, if not the nexus point for the entire industry altogether. Today, simplifying litigation is relatively straightforward thanks to the inception online litigation support solutions.

The first method by which attorneys can significantly simplify their workload is by using an Online Case Management and Electronic Service (E-Service) platform. When it comes to litigating complex or multi-party cases, one hurdle is the sheer number of parties and keeping track of their respective filings and discovery documents. Litigators that exchange documents physically (U.S. Mail or Courier Services) can quickly find themselves drowning in paperwork. Consequently, they are much more likely to miss important deadlines or lose important documents. With Online Case Management platforms, any and all served documents are securely stored in an easily accessible online repository, eliminating such a possibility. E-Service platforms also save time, allowing litigators to serve documents with the click of a button.

Another great way to simplify litigation is to work with an online legal support provider that has a full-suite of litigation support tools. Rather than jumping from one vendor to another, litigators should really consider streamlining their filing and process serving needs from one provider. As more courts are mandating Electronic Filing, it is important to select a provider who is also an authorized Electronic Filing Service Provider. E-Filing offers several advantages over physical filing, including: extended deadlines, cheaper rates, and easier order tracking systems.

As technology continues to advance, it is advantageous to stay up to date with the latest online litigation support tools. Between E-Filing and E-Service platforms, simplifying complex litigation has never been easier. Litigators can now simplify their workload exponentially and forgo floor-to-ceiling stacks of paper and mid-day deadlines in favor of an indexed online repository, accompanying self-updating calendar, and more reasonable filing accommodations.  Should you have any questions about how to simplify your litigation, feel free to reach out to us at (800) 687-5003 or su*****@le*****************.com.
