Most law firms rely on external vendors for litigation graphics, creating scheduling bottlenecks, communication delays, and escalating costs. Isn’t it about time to integrate this secondary service into your law firm? You can. We help firms establish in-house visual production capabilities designed to their practice size and case volume.
Department Models
The optimal structure depends on your firm's size and litigation volume. Solo practitioners typically need one graphics professional integrated into existing workflows. Mid-size firms need dedicated teams with established production processes. Large firms require full departments with designers, animators, and production coordinators.
Your graphics department will produce opening and closing presentations, witness examination visuals, evidence timelines, and jury instruction graphics. For settlement purposes, they create damages calculations, comparative analysis presentations, and demand packages. Expert testimony support includes technical animations, process demonstrations, medical illustrations, and accident reconstructions. Client communications become more effective with case status presentations, strategy explanations, and settlement analysis materials.
Implementation
The setup process begins with assessing your current visual needs, case types, and existing resources to determine the optimal department structure. Technical implementation includes workstation configuration, file management systems, quality control protocols, and production standards. We develop workflows for case intake, project management, review cycles, and delivery protocols.
Staffing guidance covers hiring criteria, job descriptions, interview processes, and compensation benchmarking for graphics professionals. Space planning and equipment procurement occur in the first month, followed by technical installation, system integration, and initial staff onboarding in month two. Month three focuses on executing first projects, refining processes, and establishing performance metrics. Full production capability is operational within 90 days.
Ongoing Support
Monthly consulting addresses case strategy visual planning, complex project guidance, and technology updates. Quarterly reviews assess department performance, optimize processes, and develop staff capabilities. High-stakes cases receive specialized consultation for advanced techniques and quality assurance.
Financial and Operational Benefits
In-house departments eliminate vendor markups on ongoing production needs while providing direct communication with graphics staff who understand your cases and deadlines. Visual strategy develops alongside legal strategy from case inception rather than as an afterthought. Consistent quality standards and brand presentation improve across all materials without external vendor scheduling constraints.
Firms typically see reduced external graphics costs, faster production turnaround, better integration between visual and legal strategy, improved client presentations, and more effective settlement negotiations.
Getting Started
Initial assessment evaluates your firm's needs and current capabilities. We then create a custom setup plan designed for your specific practice, handle technical and process implementation, provide staff training and workflow establishment, and offer ongoing consultation for performance optimization and capability expansion.
