FOR LAW FIRMS

How Florida Trial Counsel Works With Your Firm

Start with the trial need. Then define the work, the lawyers’ respective roles, the fee structure, communications, timing, and trial plan.

Start the Trial Conversation

Start with your contact information. Please do not send names or confidential or substantive case information.

Check Conflicts

Conflict-identifying information is requested separately through the appropriate conflict-screening process before substantive information is exchanged.

Define the Role

Choose the work the matter needs: a Trial Readiness Review, Trial Notebook Development, Targeted Trial Support, Lead Trial Counsel, co-counsel, an Outside Trial Department relationship, or Florida trial support.

Prepare and Execute

Integrate the agreed work with the existing firm and carry out the trial plan.

Your client relationship remains central

Adding trial counsel does not require the referring lawyer to disappear from the matter. The engagement can preserve the originating lawyer’s role in client communication, case knowledge, strategy, preparation, and trial while adding the experience or capacity the matter needs. The client’s choices and each lawyer’s professional duties remain controlling.

The engagement defines

  • The trial work Florida Trial Counsel will perform
  • The work that remains with the referring firm
  • Client communication and decision-making responsibilities
  • The fee structure, costs, and payment responsibilities
  • The anticipated appearance or admission role
  • Deadlines, file access, and information exchange

The engagement and fee structure are tailored to the role and matter and quoted after discussion.
