Start with what counsel needs to establish
Effective witness work begins with the disputed facts and a clear plan. We discuss potential sources and prioritize contacts based on relevance.
Professional and ethical contact
Witnesses must be approached lawfully and respectfully. Represented-party contact and other rules may affect an investigation; counsel should provide appropriate direction.
Document facts faithfully
Accurate notes and clear distinctions between first-hand knowledge and second-hand accounts help attorneys assess the usefulness of information.
