There are many reasons why the need for litigation work has become more pressing than ever. Here are 10 of the most crucial:
1. The Covid-19 virus has caused a major shift to remote work. This has triggered an accompanying shift to remote litigation.
2. The pandemic has caused a rise in litigation concerning contract breaches, consumer protection, employment issues, insurance claims, and other related areas.
3. Litigation funding has become a major industry. This allows plaintiffs with more resources to pursue litigation at a higher level.
4. Litigation has become a great deal more complex and specialized in the past several years. This has forced lawyers to acquire more skills and knowledge in a great number of applicable fields.
5. Litigation is becoming a great deal more aggressive as well as competitive. The stakes are higher, thus forcing cases to be fought at a more competitive level.
6. Litigation has gotten a great deal more influenced by certain types of social and environmental factors. This results in competing parties seeking to advance their own set of specialized interests and values over those of their opponents.
7. Litigation has gotten a great more responsive to market conditions as well as frequent regulatory changes. These changes are becoming more prevalent as competing parties seek to adapt to new challenges and opportunities.
8. The cost of litigation has increased by an exponential level. As a result, parties have become more creative about how and why they seek to engage in this behavior.
9. Litigation is slowly becoming more transparent as well as publicly accountable. This change has come as disputing parties seek to adhere to new ethical and professional standards.
10. Litigation has become more directly rewarding. The level of satisfaction with results has increased. This is partly due to the parties involved seeking to achieve their objectives in wholly new ways.
These are only a few of the many reasons why litigation has become more prevalent in the past few years. The firm of Beckstrom & Beckstrom is here to help answer any questions or concerns that you may have in this regard.
