Discovery

Court Appointed Expert and Special Master

In many instances we can provide a significant benefit to all parties involved when we are invited as a neutral third party early in the process.

At Corodemus & Corodemus, L.L.C., we serve in the role of special discovery master in the pretrial discovery stages of complicated cases. We can look at a particular issue that has delayed or confused litigants in a particular case. Our experienced ADR professionals have encountered various issues from traditional privileged document issues, to financial disclosures to meta and embedded data of e-discovery. The appointment of a special discovery master may the right solution to allow a global resolution to commence.

Our professionals are often called upon the provide ADR services when discovery is complete. Litigation is underway or negotiations have broken down. In those scenarios, we act as a neutral rescue party.
