Recurring Status Checks Add Up to Recurring Conflicts

Compliance conferences check in on whether the discovery schedule set at the preliminary conference is actually being met, and they tend to recur throughout the life of a case — which means the odds of a scheduling conflict go up the longer a matter is active.

Because compliance conferences are largely status-driven, the key to a well-handled appearance is accurate information: what's been exchanged, what's outstanding, and what extensions or motions to compel may be needed. Our attorneys request a brief written status update from your firm before the conference so they can report accurately to the court and avoid committing your firm to a deadline it can't meet.

If a compliance conference reveals a discovery dispute that needs more substantive handling — for example, opposing counsel raising a motion to compel — our attorney will report that back immediately so your firm's handling attorney can weigh in before any further appearance.

A discovery dispute raised at a compliance conference sometimes needs to be argued as a formal motion at a later date, and conferences originally set for the courtroom occasionally shift to a virtual format — our network is built to pick up either change without your firm having to re-brief a new attorney.
