RENO COMPLEX LITIGATION LAWYER

A litigation attorney is a lawyer who sees a case through the court process. He or she focuses on the litigation process or the procedures involved in filing and pursuing lawsuits. Complex litigation refers to a case that involves multiple parties, a large amount of money, a lengthy trial or complex legal issues.

Complex litigation is a legal designation requiring cases to meet one or more of the following criteria:

Cases involving many parties
Factors requiring exceptional judicial management
Class action lawsuits
Cases in which a putative (presumptive) class action may be pursued
Substantial post-judgment judicial supervision

Complex litigation also refers to cases involving:

Management of many separately represented parties
Complexity of anticipated factual or legal issues
Numerous pretrial motions that will be time-consuming to resolve
Management of many witnesses
Management of a substantial amount of documentary evidence
Coordination with related actions that are pending in in a federal court, or in courts in other counties, states, or countries

Examples of cases involving multiple parties include:

Antitrust or trade regulation claims
Construction defect claims involving many parties or structures
Securities claims or investment losses involving many parties
Environmental or toxic tort claims involving many parties
Claims involving mass tort, or insurance coverage claims arising out of any of the foregoing claims

The difficulty of such cases requires an accomplished trial lawyer who is able to deal with the many elements involved in a complex lawsuit. This usually is beyond the experience of the standard trial lawyer.
