Case Strategy (cont'd)
Purpose.
Case strategy consultation enables counsel to obtain reactions and recommendations from an experienced trial consultant in a cost-effective way. This service is most beneficial to evaluate overall case strategy early in the trial process. Case strategy consultation sessions can focus on any of several objectives:
 |
Achieving perspective on how a case will be received by jurors at trial.
|
|
Developing effective case themes and trial strategies.
|
|
Assessing some key strengths and weaknesses of the case.
|
|
Outlining effective opening statement and/or closing argument.
|
|
Making improvements in presentation style and trial visuals.
|
|
Examining special issues or unique circumstances in a case.
|
Process.
Case strategy consultation is most beneficial in the early stages of trial preparation and may guide subsequent research and consulting, but counsel can benefit from such analysis and feedback at any time during the litigation process. Sessions are typically scheduled for four to six hours, and are billed on an hourly fee basis.
Benefits.
The primary benefit of a case strategy consultation is the opportunity to assess and develop an overall trial strategy, drawing upon the extensive jury research and trial consulting experience of Tsongas Consultants. This experience, acquired through litigation in more than 35 states, is derived from over a thousand civil and criminal cases, hundreds of research juries and countless witnesses. Also, experience working on plaintiff as well as defense cases provides our firm with a unique perspective. The application of this substantial body of expertise can enable counsel to make any necessary adjustments early in the discovery process. Case strategy consultation can also assist counsel in determining if pre-trial research is warranted, and if so, what type of research is most appropriate.
