It’s not what you don’t know that hurts you, it’s what you think you know that just ain’t true that hurts you. Trusting the wrong business can have dramatic results. In your personal life, it does not get any more inconvenient than when your car breaks down. A car leaves you stranded on the side of the road. Or stranded in your own garage when the kids need to get to school and you are late for that morning staff meeting. A lack of knowledge about the car gives the mechanic all the leverage, right? It is hard to identify the key problem. It is hard to know the scope of work and appropriate timeline to fix it.
Litigation offers similar though more nuance challenges. It is hard to get a solid diagnosis. It is hard to get a scope of work and appropriate timeline. In both scenarios, the cost is almost impossible to know going in.
Therein lies the rub. Strategic decisions are impossible without all the information or worse, where basic assumptions turn out to be wrong. In the case of a mechanic, a second opinion or competitive quote is virtually impossible. Towing a car from shop to shop for assessments is so unlikely as to be laughable. In litigation, it is not as tough. Calling existing outside counsel for an assessment provides additional perspective. What is less clear once you’ve decided to litigate instead of settle is the quality and cost of the litigation. Even with trusted outside counsel, costs can be unclear and service providers often cater to law firms not the client-company.
