Larger law firms
Firms with a deep history of served responses, and clients who expect the same strategy across all of their matters.
How we set it up for firmsDiscovery Response Governance
For firms and companies that answer the same questions across many cases. Briefpoint builds a governance system from your own work product or discovery guidance, then applies it to every new response in every matter.
Your governance system
We build it from what you already have. Your team doesn’t configure anything.
What it is
Every discovery response states a position your client now owns. Governance keeps that position the same in every case where the question comes up, no matter who drafts the response, so nothing you serve contradicts what you’ve served before.
Firms with a deep history of served responses, and clients who expect the same strategy across all of their matters.
How we set it up for firmsLegal departments and carriers that need one position enforced across their docket, whether cases are handled in-house or by panel counsel.
How we set it up for corporationsFor law firms
We build Briefpoint around the work product your firm has already served, so when your attorneys draft in Briefpoint, they’re drafting in your firm’s language from the start.
Send samples of interrogatory, RFA, and RFP responses your firm has drafted. They set both your formatting and the language Briefpoint drafts with.
We extract the objections and response positions from your work product and load them into Discovery Playbooks.
We set up your captions, pleading paper, signature blocks, proofs of service, and verifications. Every Word document Briefpoint generates looks like your attorneys drafted it.
Positions can apply firm-wide or to a single client. A client who wants its own responses gets its own playbook. Clients who want a unified position share one.
Not much history to share? Briefpoint comes with 7,000+ items of work product out of the box.

Your Discovery Playbook
For corporations
For legal departments and carriers whose matters run through in-house teams and panel counsel. We take the guidance you’ve already written and make it the default in every draft.
Your discovery manual, litigation guidelines, or list of approved positions, in whatever form it exists today.
We translate your guidance into Discovery Playbooks entries: approved objections and response language, scoped by line of business, jurisdiction, or matter type.
In-house attorneys and outside counsel draft on the same playbook, so your company takes one position across the docket.
Every entry records who used it and when, so compliance is visible instead of assumed.

After setup
Once it’s in place, governance runs inside drafting, across pattern litigation and every new case. Nothing for your team to configure.
Each new request is matched to your playbook, and the approved objections and response language go straight into the draft.
If a draft conflicts with a position served in another matter, Briefpoint flags it before the response goes out.
New positions your team saves are added to the playbook and applied on every matching request from then on.
Proof
Some of the world’s largest insurance companies run their discovery response governance on Briefpoint.
Questions
What do you need from us?
For a law firm, samples of discovery responses you’ve drafted in the past. We use them to match your formatting and to build the system around your own work product, so your attorneys draft in your firm’s language from the start. For a corporation, your discovery manual, guidelines, or approved positions.
What if we don’t have much past work product?
Briefpoint comes with 7,000+ items of work product out of the box. If you want a system built on your own work product, send what you have and we’ll build it from there.
Can different clients have different positions?
Yes. Playbook entries can apply firm-wide or to a single client, jurisdiction, or case type. A client who wants its own positions gets them, and clients who want a unified position share one.
Does our team have to configure anything?
No. Briefpoint builds the system from your work product or guidance. Your attorneys keep drafting the way they do today and review what Briefpoint produces.
Does it work with outside counsel?
Yes. In-house attorneys and panel firms draft on the same playbook, so your approved positions follow every matter no matter who handles it.
