Attorney Review- Litigation Support
Documents may be required to be reviewed for many purposes. It could be for litigation, a due diligence action or it could be a review following a judicial enquiry. Trivent helps the law firms and corporate legal departments in document review. Apart from “relevance”, documents related to litigation can be reviewed for “privilege” as well. Trivent's legal team consists of lawyers who have experience working with Indian/U.S. law firms and have received extensive training in using US legal research tools.

Legal Research and Citation Search
Legal Research is helpful in many ways. An attorney might want legal research conducted for various reasons including but not limited to the following;
- To establish a point of law before the Court with the help of a decided case while arguing a new case
- To refute a point of law raised by the opposing counsel during the hearing of a matter
- To evaluate the merits of proposed litigation
- To advise a client about the consequences of being involved in or abstaining from any action
- To establish the legal sustainability of any question that has been incorporated in the interrogatories to which the defendant has raised an issue regarding the sustainability of such question
Trivent attorneys can also summarize various reported cases on different points of law. This would be an assignment where an American attorney would like to have a list of all decided cases on a particular point of law in his hand, including the cases which have been decided unfavorably. Trivent attorneys would not only provide such a list, but also at the same time would summarize the facts and ratio of law decided in such cases. This would save the American attorney from investing a huge amount of time going through hundreds of pages of the reported decisions, and he or she would be able to devote more time to strategize a case based on the summary of the reported cases made available to him or her by Trivent attorneys.
Trivent attorneys are adept in performing all such legal research using legal databases. At Trivent, legal researches are performed by Indian researchers and quality checked by U.S. attorneys. However, there is an option available to have such legal research done by our on-shore U.S. attorney alone.

How can Trivent administer your contract?
Trivent contract administration services can help ease the burden of managing numerous contracts and can minimize the risk of an accidental breach of a contractual obligation.
Trained Legal Analysis of Contracts

- Conflicting provisions from the same or different contracts are flagged for the attention of primary corporate counsel.
Creation and Maintenance of Database
- A New database can be created and maintained on a secure server allowing easy access and review of contracts and their provisions.
- Existing databases can be updated when new contracts are executed or if any changes are made to existing contracts.
Compliance Calendaring
- Attorneys and contract administrators analyze contracts to determine compliance schedules.
- Compliance schedules are sent to appropriate client personnel.

Contract Modification Management
There may be occasions when what is agreed upon in a contract needs to be changed later on. A number of bases may be used to support a subsequent change, so that the whole contract remains enforceable under the new arrangement.
A change may be based on:
- A mutual agreement by both parties to vary the contract outside the framework of the existing contract. This would be an independent basis for changing the contract.
- A unilateral decision to vary the contract contemplated and allowed for by the existing contract. This would normally have notice periods for fairness and often the right of one party especially in consumer contracts, to cease the contractual relationship.
- A bilateral decision to vary the contract, within the variation or change control process outlined in the existing contract. These are often called Change Control provisions.
