Assembling a Team in Another Market

Client Need

An Atlanta corporate client requests that Counsel On Call put together a team of attorneys for a high-profile piece of litigation in the Washington, D.C., area. The timeframe for this project is compressed, and due to the high-profile nature of the litigation, the project must be executed with absolute precision.

Solution

Counsel On Call works closely with the client’s outside counsel in Washington, D.C., to compile profiles of the attorneys needed for the project, in addition to discussing the size of the team.

Counsel On Call organizes a six-attorney team in less than four days and manages the navigation of stringent local requirements for the use of contract attorneys in the District of Columbia.

Result

Counsel On Call’s aggressive recruiting, uncompromising screening and learned familiarity with D.C.’s jurisdictional rules of procedure and local practice eliminated the client’s concern about involving contract attorneys in such a sensitive lawsuit. The attorneys working through Counsel On Call for this engagement each had superb academics, were members of the D.C. bar, had excellent experience in the subject area, and worked tirelessly to meet the court-imposed deadlines.
