Business is competitive. In the real world, businesses prosper by providing a superior product or service at a competitive price. That means being cost conscious, especially in these economic times.

Law firms should be no different. Law firms should perform like other competitive businesses. They should be cost conscious and yet still provide a superior service. Clients should not expect anything less.

Endless litigation budgets require no skill. Many firms believe that good litigation means "turning over every stone," requiring an endless budget. There are certainly cases where that is in order. But not every dispute is a million dollar case. Quite frankly, it rarely makes sense to spend as much in attorneys' fees and costs as you may win or lose in the case. Yet, that so often occurs in today's litigation leaving clients feeling helpless about the cost of litigation.

Efficient litigation, however, is a highly developed skill. Efficient litigation is a learned skill. Some may say it is an art. Whatever one's view, it takes both a commitment and years of experience.

Good trial lawyers litigate efficiently. Any lawyer can write up a big budget, take lots of depositions, engage in endless discovery, and have associates spend endless hours researching legal issues. But good trial lawyers know how to litigate efficiently. Good lawyers know the important legal issues. They know the law. They distinguish the important facts from the unimportant, and the relevant facts from the irrelevant. They see how a case will be tried - what is admissible in evidence and what is not, along with what is persuasive and what is not.
