When it comes to arduous discovery in construction litigation, improving technological savviness may be key. Alex Thrasher, a litigation associate in the construction practice of Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, alongside Paige Hunt, the Vice President of global discovery solutions at Lighthouse, emphasize the importance of embracing technology to navigate complex construction project litigations.
Thrasher, based in Birmingham, Alabama, highlights that construction disputes tend to be multi-party engagements. “Disputes between two parties are very often disputes between three, four or more parties at the end of the day,” he said. This necessitates an adroit command over a multifaceted legal landscape and its various moving parts.
As such, Thrasher and Hunt point out the necessity for lawyers to step up their game in understanding and applying technology in these complex litigations. Some of this technology includes e-discovery solutions, as they help lawyers sift through and manage the overlay of information in such disputes.
Familiarizing oneself with tech and e-discovery solutions can significantly streamline complex multi-party construction litigation. Thrasher and Hunt’s discussion indicates that this may turn the tide in successful navigation and management of such multi-faceted disputes.
