Dispute File Builder

Before the lawyers, the file — and the file is usually what decides whether you need them.

What it is

The instrument that decides most disputes long before a court would: the assembled file. Builds the dated chronology from what actually exists, freezes the evidence, forces the worst fact into writing, disciplines the correspondence, and prices the fight against the settlement. For owners, freelancers and managers facing a disagreement that has started to feel legal.

What you receive

the file you build before anyone says the word lawyer — a sourced chronology with its gaps written in rather than smoothed over, an evidence inventory behind a same-day preservation hold, your strongest and worst facts beside the other side's case at its strongest, correspondence that reads well to a stranger, a settlement range and walk-away number fixed before emotion arrives, and the honest cost of fighting — with the limitation, privilege and insurance questions flagged for counsel
