As a construction lawyer involved in complex litigation, I am often asked to prepare a "litigation and discovery budget" for a client.
As a construction client, your stomach may turn when you receive one of these budgets from your lawyer. Is there a way to control the costs of discovery in construction litigation?
According to the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution, the answer can be found in what is known as an economical litigation agreement.
