As an in-house counsel, you’re tasked with finding the perfect balance of liability protection and litigation budget. Unfortunately, this balance can be easily frustrated by an opposing counsel’s discovery gamesmanship forcing you to wrangle with voluminous discovery requests. 

Fortunately, there are solutions that can protect your litigation budget from the bleed-dry tactics. Indeed, by 2025, 97 percent of legal departments will require law firms to describe their technology before they are hired, according to a 2022 study published by Wolters Kluwer.

One such platform is Briefpoint: Briefpoint is a cloud-based platform that takes the edge of discovery-based bleed-dry tactics by fast-tracking discovery response drafting with AI.

Outside litigation teams use Briefpoint to draft discovery responses in minutes – not hours.  By using Briefpoint, your outside litigation’s discovery drafting bills can decrease by 80-90%. This frees up your legal budget by the thousands and it only costs your attorney $89 (see pricing details here).

And, even if I’m only half right, there’s no reason your outside litigation counsel shouldn’t give Briefpoint a shot because:

• They can try Briefpoint right now – for free,

• Briefpoint works right out of the box – they don’t need to change how they work to innovate for your benefit, and

• There’s no implementation cost, required training, or contracts to sign. They can draft a discovery response within minutes of creating an account without paying a dime or sitting through lengthy instructional videos.

If they don’t love it – no worries, at least they can say that they attempted to reduce the amount you’d otherwise spend protecting yourself. 

Need internal buy-in? Here’s a snapshot of Briefpoint’s core functionality that you’re welcome to share internally:

This makes for faster and more accurate responses to discovery requests, reducing your litigation exposure & spend.

Programmed with court holidays and every discovery response deadline per the CCP, you can rest assured that you won’t have to pay attorneys’ fees for a motion to compel pursuant to dilatory responses.

Briefpoint is an excellent tool for in-house teams looking to reduce the their litigation spend by empowering their outside-litigators to draft discovery responses using significantly less time and resources.

If your outside litigation counsel is spending more than 2 hours drafting any discovery response, ask them why they aren’t using Briefpoint.
