Discovery


A significant part of the services of O’Connell & Associates involves the gathering and production of documents during the discovery phase. We specialize in helping develop a discovery plan and then managing all phases of its implementation.

Document Management and Control Case Orientation
At the inception of a case, we can consult with counsel to obtain an understanding of the issues and causes of action related to the case. This orientation is a crucial first step that allows us to be a valuable aid to the legal team as we collect, store, evaluate, and process evidence for the case.
Document Management and Control Obtaining Client Documents
We can assist the legal team in obtaining their clients' documents and relevant materials.
Document Management and Control Developing and Implementing a Discovery Plan
We can work with the attorneys to develop, define, and implement an appropriate discovery plan. This may include document requests and subpoenas, interrogatories, requests for admissions, depositions, and motions to compel.
Document Management and Control Preparation of Document Requests and Subpoenas
We can assist in the preparation of document requests and subpoenas in the case including the identification of categories of documents and specific documents to be obtained.
Document Management and Control Document Production Attendance and Supervision
We have the experience to attend document productions, select the relevant, responsive documents, and coordinate copying with the document processing companies. We can assist in obtaining original documents rather than copies at the document production. We assess the completeness of the document production and report any deficiencies.
Document Management and Control Preparation of Client Documents for Production
We also assist in preparing the client's documents and materials in response to requests for production or subpoenas. This includes the selection of documents that are relevant and responsive. We will attend the document production to insure that the integrity of the documents is maintained.

We have the expertise to identify privileged documents and can also create the necessary privilege logs as part of the document database.
Document Management and Control Preparing and Responding to Interrogatories and Requests for Admissions
We can assist in the preparation of and response to interrogatories and requests for admissions. We have the expertise to work with the legal team to analyze the issues in the case and identify and collect all supporting documents and evidence.
Document Management and Control Depositions
We can prepare the documents and reports necessary for the legal team to take or defend depositions. We can also attend depositions to assist counsel with the documents to be used.
Document Management and Control Meet and Confer Process & Motions to Compel
The meet and confer process and motions to compel are a necessary part of any discovery plan. We can provide our expertise to identify areas of deficiency and prepare the information and documents necessary.
