If you’re managing a large mass tort docket right now, this scenario might hit a little too close to home:
- 3,000 cases to prepare
- More than 2 million pages of documents to review
- Tight settlement deadlines just weeks away
- And only two paralegals to manage it all
For many mass tort firms, this is the daily reality. The challenge isn’t a lack of skill or effort, it's operational overload.
The Real Bottleneck: Operations
Law firms excel at building strong cases. But high-volume mass tort litigation also requires efficient processes, reliable infrastructure, and real-time visibility. These are capabilities that many firms have not historically needed.
Without the right systems, many teams rely on spreadsheets, email threads, and manual document review. These tools are difficult to scale and make it hard to track progress, ensure accuracy, or respond to changing settlement criteria. As deadlines approach, the pressure builds and case quality can suffer.
Why It Matters
Operational inefficiency leads to:
- Delayed settlements
- Gaps in claim documentation
- Missed claims deadlines
- Undervalued cases or unclaimed compensation
- Stress and burnout across your team
In mass torts, the operational burden determines the outcome, not the legal merit alone.
