ERS Group's Litigation Management Group assists clients in every phase of litigation -- from initial assessment of the legal and scientific issues to development, management and implementation of effective litigation support strategies; with a broadly scalable array of services. Using a unique approach developed to support ERS Group's own experts, we assist attorneys and witnesses in framing and supporting strategies tailored to the particular project. With in-depth experience in litigation process and technology management and credentials and experience in fields such as labor and employment law, economics, industrial psychology, accounting, environmental compliance, industrial hygiene and occupational safety, our litigation consulting capabilities are unique in the industry. Our approach is based on the needs of attorneys and on the critical role played by experts in today's dynamic litigation environment.

Unlike more narrowly focused firms, Litigation Management Group is equipped to assist with all aspects of what has traditionally been termed "litigation support" - managing document collection and review, discovery, dockets and pleadings, litigation databases, paralegal services and trial support. In addition to expertise in the traditional litigation support areas, our professionals bring their in-depth experience to bear on the implementation of fundamental litigation strategies, and we work closely with attorneys and experts to ensure that both the litigation strategy, and the litigation support effort, evolve in accordance with the changing nature of the case. Litigation Management Group also has broad experience in expert services support, with a proven track record of identifying, engaging, and managing the right expert for the case.

The Litigation Management Group is experienced in the efficient and effective application of a broad selection of technology tools to meet the needs of each case. Working with counsel, our professionals design and implement customized information management and control systems that are both grounded in successful past implementations and keyed to the unique needs of the particular project. Tools such as secure extranets, transcript management applications or trial technology systems are employed as case needs dictate, and close contact is maintained with counsel throughout the project lifecycle to ensure that this technological toolkit evolves along with client needs.

We have performed litigation support, consulting and expert services in a variety of contexts, including multi-party employment, class-action employment, class-action pay and class-action environmental cases.
