What this web site is about
This web site will provide a guide to the “industry” that is known as litigation document review and investigatory document review: mergers and acquisitions; antitrust investigations; class actions and other complex litigation; mega securities and financial transactions, etc. These cases require an army of attorney and paralegal document reviewers. These document review projects tend to be short-term in length --- a few days, a week, a few months, some even a few years --- and employ attorneys only for the length of the project, although there are situations when an attorney is “held on” by a firm to work on a follow-on project, or on a full-time basis.
It is an industry that has flourished in the last 7 years as law firms have adopted the cost-saving manufacturing principle of “just-in-time” production, applied to a service industry: hire attorneys “just when you need them” but only on a part-time basis. However, many law firms have turned this not only into a cost savings procedure, but a profit center as well.
This site will post notices about all projects and positions it finds or is told about (both part-time work and full-time work). Most projects come to us via employment agencies, but we provide information on all projects and assignments we know about via agencies, our contacts at law firms, staff attorneys we know, plus our Posse members.
