From Intake to Production: What “Managed Discovery” Looks Like in Family Law

Discovery works best when it’s managed, not rushed.

In family law, a single case can involve hundreds of documents, multiple rounds of requests, and ongoing supplementation. Without a clear process, things fall through the cracks.

What Is Managed Discovery?

Managed discovery is a start-to-finish approach that includes:

  1. Discovery intake and request review

  2. Client document guidance and collection

  3. Drafting clear, compliant responses

  4. Organized document production

  5. Deadline and supplementation tracking

This approach removes guesswork and ensures consistency across cases.

Why Attorneys Benefit from a Managed System

A structured discovery process:

  • Saves hours of attorney time

  • Reduces last-minute emergencies

  • Improves client experience

  • Strengthens case presentation

Instead of reacting to discovery demands, attorneys stay in control of the case narrative.

Discovery Should Support Strategy—Not Distract From It

When discovery is handled efficiently, attorneys can focus on:

  • Case strategy

  • Client advocacy

  • Court preparation

That’s where real value is created.
