Discovery

Discovery response drafting

Litigify drafts responses and objections to interrogatories, document requests and requests for admission from counsel’s positions and the client information supplied. We track each request through the proposed response, identify factual gaps, and prepare a review copy that distinguishes confirmed answers from items awaiting instruction.

Client answers and the information gathered through counsel’s inquiry.
Counsel’s objection positions, privilege instructions and proposed production scope.
Relevant document inventories, prior responses, supplementation history and verification instructions.

Every request receives its own treatment

We reproduce and number the requests accurately, then draft the response appropriate to each one. Proposed factual answers are tied to the information supplied; gaps remain questions for counsel and the client. A request for admission is not answered by recycling an interrogatory objection, and a production response is not treated as proof that documents have been collected or produced.

Keep objections, answers and production aligned

Federal Rules 33, 34 and 36 govern different discovery devices. Rule 34 includes requirements concerning objections and whether responsive material is being withheld. The draft distinguishes the objection, any partial response and the proposed production position so that counsel can check consistency. Privilege descriptions and any log are prepared only within the agreed instructions and scope.

Leave verification and supplementation visible

The delivery identifies answers requiring client confirmation, signature or verification and separates those tasks from drafting. We cross-check prior responses supplied by counsel for inconsistencies and flag information that may require supplementation under Rule 26(e). Counsel directs the inquiry, approves the legal positions, obtains the required signatures and serves the final responses.

What a strong discovery response does.

Answers each request directly

Each proposed response tracks the request and the information counsel confirms is available.

Makes objections specific

Objections and withholding positions reflect counsel’s instructions and the particular request.

Keeps unresolved facts visible

Verification needs, missing information and production limitations are identified for counsel before service.

Questions before drafting.

Do you use blanket objections across every response?

No. Counsel supplies or approves the objection positions for the actual requests. We draft request-specific responses and flag an instruction that lacks enough detail to produce a coherent answer or withholding statement.

Does the assignment include collecting or producing documents?

Not automatically. Response drafting, a privilege log and production-related materials are separate deliverables to define at intake. Your firm controls collection, privilege review, production and service.

How many credits does a response set use?

Discovery responses are quoted per assignment. The request count, record, factual development and requested deliverables determine the quote. You approve the scope and credit ceiling before work begins.
