At Foley, we understand the business side of the challenges and risks posed by potential and actual lawsuits, and have the skills and experience to win cases. With litigators practicing nationwide, Foley has one of the largest and most comprehensive litigation departments in the country. The Litigation Department is the firm's largest department and has a strong presence in all of the firm's offices.
We embrace matter budgeting because we know that clients need to predict, as much as possible, the costs of the litigation. Our budgeting program enables each lawyer to use American Bar Association (ABA) task codes to easily create and maintain a budget for every matter. If time charges are recorded using the ABA task codes, we can give the client real-time status reports of expenses against budget, broken down for each phase of the case. The goal is to avoid surprises.
