A Short Survey on Litigator Selection and Value Generation

By Dan Michaluk

I sat on a legal project management panel at the CBA conference on Tuesday. It was moderated by Barbara Boake of McCarthy’s. Andrew Terret of BLG (and Slaw) provided the PM expert’s perspective, Brian Armstrong of Bruce Power spoke from the internal counsel’s perspective and I provided the practitioner’s perspective.

We had a very enlightening discussion, and spent a good deal of it talking about the challenges of planning for and pricing litigation (meaning any form of representation in an adjudicative process). I’ll follow-up on the discussion later, but thought I’d first lay some groundwork with a short and very informal survey.

Please take a moment and give some input. I don’t intend this to have scientific rigor, so please resist the “it depends” answer and click away. Even better, supplement your survey answers with a comment!
