Litigation Project Management
A complex case is a project. Run it like one.
Deadlines, budgets, workstreams, vendors, and a dozen things due at once. We bring project discipline to your litigation — one calendar, one plan, one place where the whole matter is under control.
More Than A Caseload
Great lawyering can still be undone by things falling through the cracks.
A single matter can run for years and involve dozens of deadlines, multiple workstreams, experts, vendors, a budget, and a team that all needs to know what’s happening and what’s next. Without a command layer, even strong litigators lose hours to chasing status and reconstructing where things stand.
Litigation project management is that command layer — the plan, the calendar, and the reporting that keep the whole matter moving in the same direction, on time and on budget.
The best trial lawyers I knew weren’t just great in the courtroom — their cases were run like well-managed projects. Nothing was ever a surprise.
The Case Roadmap
The whole matter, on one timeline.
We map every phase against the case schedule, so overlapping workstreams and deadlines are visible at a glance.

Project Plans & Milestones
A roadmap of the matter from filing to resolution, with phases, owners, and target dates.
Workstream Coordination
Keeping discovery, motions, experts, and trial prep moving in parallel without collisions.
Budget Tracking
Tracking spend against plan so cost surprises are caught early, not at billing time.
Team & Vendor Coordination
Aligning attorneys, staff, experts, and outside vendors around one shared plan.
Status Reporting
Clear, regular reporting so the team and the client always know where the matter stands.
One Source Of Truth

Managing the matter, not directing the law.
Litigation project management is operational and organizational support. ARH Consulting’s founder is a former trial lawyer, not your attorney, and we don’t set legal strategy, make legal decisions, or render legal advice — those belong with your licensed counsel. We keep the plan, the calendar, and the workstreams running so your team can focus on the case itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Litigation project management, answered.
How is this different from discovery management? +
Discovery management focuses on one phase — getting documents requested, reviewed, and produced. Project management is the layer above it: the whole matter’s calendar, budget, workstreams, and reporting, from filing to resolution.
Do you set legal strategy? +
No. We manage the plan and the process. Legal strategy and decisions stay with your licensed counsel — our job is to keep the work organized and on schedule.
Do you use our existing tools? +
Where possible, yes. We work within the calendars, case management, and project tools your team already uses, and suggest improvements only where they clearly help.
Can you join a matter already in progress? +
Yes. We can take stock of where a matter stands, build the plan and calendar, and bring it under control mid-stream.
