For Counsel
Some of our work comes from companies. A lot of it comes from other lawyers. If you have a matter you'd rather not keep, a conflict you can't clear, or a workstream that's eating a case alive, here's what we do and how referring to us actually works.
We take the matter. We don't take the client.
This is the part most referral pages leave vague, so we'll be direct about it.
Loop Litigation is a commercial litigation firm. We don't do corporate work, we don't do transactions, we don't do tax, and we're not building a general practice. When you send us a matter, we handle that matter. We don't appear on the pleadings unless you want us to, we don't pitch your client on anything, and when it's over, your client is your client.
That's not a courtesy. It's the business model. Referring lawyers are one of our main sources of work, and a firm that burns them doesn't get a second referral.
Discovery counsel
Discovery is where budgets die and where good cases get lost. We take that workstream off your hands at a fixed price and hand it back finished.
- ESI protocol negotiation — from $4,500
- Early case assessment on a defined dataset — from $6,500
- Collection strategy and custodian interviews
- AI-assisted review, document review, privilege logging, production
- Data privacy and cross-border issues
- Document review — quoted per custodian or per document after a data assessment
This isn't a capability we bolted on. Our principal attorney served as Managing Partner of a licensed alternative business structure law firm delivering data-driven eDiscovery and co-counsel services to firms and legal departments nationwide, and before that as Product Owner for AI-driven eDiscovery tools — predictive coding, document classification, privilege review, and legal analytics. He has sat on both sides of the ESI protocol: negotiating them as counsel, and building the software that has to satisfy them.
Conflicts
If you're conflicted out of a commercial dispute in Illinois, Wisconsin, or Arizona, we'll take it. We'll run our own check, tell you within a day, and tell you plainly if we can't.
Emergency injunction work
A TRO response is due in 48 hours and the people who could write it are in trial. We've handled both sides of restrictive covenant and trade secret emergencies — enforcement and defense — and we're built for compressed timelines. Bring us in as co-counsel or hand us the briefing.
Post-closing disputes, for deal lawyers
Closings generate fights. Earnouts, working capital adjustments, indemnification claims, reps and warranties, fraud allegations that surface eighteen months later.
You don't want to litigate those. You also don't want to hand your client to a firm with a corporate department that will be pitching them on their next transaction by the second deposition. We only litigate. There is nothing for us to cross-sell.
Local counsel
Illinois, Wisconsin, and Arizona. Filing, appearances, local rules, and someone who actually knows the judge's standing orders.
How referrals work here
Fee arrangements. We'll work out a structure that fits the matter and complies with the applicable rules, and we'll put it in writing before anyone starts. We raise it up front so it isn't an awkward conversation later.
Who owns the relationship. You do. We'll copy you on everything, or nothing, however you want it run. Tell us at the outset.
What we'll tell you. If we think the matter needs someone other than us, we'll say so before we take it.
What we won't do. Contact your client outside the scope you define. Take adverse work against your client. Pitch them on anything.
Talk to us
If you have something now, send it: info@looplitigation.com or (312) 949-5667.
If you don't, it's still worth fifteen minutes. The time to find out whether someone is any good is before the deadline, not during it.
