Job Description:Consult with Clients
Litigation Lawyers spend the early days of a case meeting with and advising their client. They will review details of the case and determine a strategy should the case make it to trial or advise clients about handling the case out of court. In the case of a personal injury lawsuit, for instance, a Litigation Lawyer might visit the scene of the accident to begin gathering details about the case.
Conduct Pre-Trial Activities:
Once a case has been accepted, a Litigation Lawyer will then begin to prepare for trial. They will assemble names of potential witnesses, arrange for expert depositions, interview witnesses and other parties relevant to the case, and examine evidence that could be used as trial exhibits.
Represent Clients in a Trial
If a case does not reach a settlement before trial, it is up to the Litigation Lawyer to represent their client in the courtroom. He or she will need to develop a trial strategy to win the case. During court proceedings, a Litigation Lawyer would present evidence, make opening and closing statements, examine and cross-examine witnesses and experts, and argue motions.
