Preparation for trial, arbitration, and hearings involves far more than simply showing up with documents. It requires the careful collecting of exhibits, drafting and refining pleadings, and understanding how each piece of information supports or weakens a position. The discovery process—and even the opposing party’s answers to your pleadings—are core components of effective trial and arbitration preparation.

This service is part of our broader dispute preparation services, which focus on getting cases ready for trial, arbitration, and related court proceedings.

Strong case referral preparation ensures your matter is fully organized before moving into trial and arbitration preparation. Once discovery is received back from the other party—whether in the form of written answers or produced documents—that information must be carefully reviewed, analyzed, and organized. Raw discovery has limited value until it is structured in a way that reveals patterns, gaps, and inconsistencies.

Organizing information and documents is a critical first step in knowing what you actually have. Once the materials are organized, they can be summarized in a way that makes key facts more easily comparable to other evidence in the case. This process allows strategy to develop naturally, rather than reactively.

The final work product of this stage is analyzing the information to understand how everything adds up as a whole. At this point, the evidence begins to tell a story—often revealing strengths or weaknesses that were not obvious when documents were viewed individually.

There are many additional aspects of trial and arbitration preparation beyond what is covered here, and a paralegal can be utilized at multiple stages depending on the needs of the case. King Paralegals provides structured preparation services designed to support informed resolution through trial or arbitration.
