A Hybrid
Approach to
Litigation Support
Many law firms are on a quest to standardize litigation support
operations using a single software platform in-house, without considering
the option of utilizing multiple tools and services. The right solution depends
on many factors at a firm, but a hybrid approach to litigation support — one
involving a cross between in-house and outsourced support — can be the
most efficient and cost-effective.
