Mass Torts & Class Actions - International Litigation Services
Over the past decade of exclusively plaintiff practice, ILS has distinguished our company by continual success in the largest Mass Tort and Class Action matters on the planet. We have assisted in virtually every Federal Products Liability Mass Tort case against big pharma and medical device manufacturers, with distinguished success in Actos, Medtronic Infuse, TRT Litigation and many more. Our assistance was pivotal in automotive and other product liability Mass Tort matters such as the VW Diesel, Takata Airbag
and Samsung Galaxy Phone cases. In short, ILS has succeeded in its mission to bring balance and equity to plaintiff’s eDiscovery.
We understand through our many Mass Torts and Class Action matters that plaintiff’s sit in an asymmetrical posture regarding the volume of their production as compared to defendants’. Defense oriented ESI providers are tasked with culling data as early as possible, then processing, hosting and reviewing that data as it flows through the funnel of elimination. We’ve seen defense attempt to hide good documents in terabytes of nothing-burgers that are barely responsive or overwhelmingly defense supportive. From an eDiscovery perspective, that reality requires a different kind of services provider. ILS has built our practice on finding the HIDDEN TRUTHS, using technology to uncover them and categorize them in ways that help our clients build winning cases.

Defense oriented consulting is predicated on helping their institutional clients reduce their risk by limiting the
amount of data they need to process, host and review. And defense firms have their own eDiscovery
practice professionals – lawyers who came from strong technology backgrounds who lead the discovery
protocols for their firms. These are sophisticated and very talented technology lawyers well versed in
presenting ESI protocols that strongly favor their clients’ interests, which seem completely reasonable, both
to the court and often to plaintiff’s counsel. Don’t be fooled. These are not friends trying to accommodate.
They have an agenda and its aimed at a defense verdict.
ILS levels the playing field. We overcome the defense agenda with our sharply honed technology solutions
and seasoned professionals. We recognize that the plaintiff’s bar is at a distinct disadvantage, both from
this resource imbalance AND because of the disproportionate burden of receiving a literal blizzard of digital
evidence, often at the last possible time before important case events. We have empaneled a group of subject matter experts to provide insight and guidance to your team. ILS will help you negotiate on par with
the eDiscovery Lawyers from the AmLaw 100. We will testify for you in court to assure that the Rules support your entitlement to the evidence. As cases proceed, our team is proactive, assuring that productions comply with ESI Protocols. We check for gaps, for missing custodians, and other omissions.
We will help you make winning arguments in motion practice and advocate for you with Special Masters.

We understand Mass Tort economic dynamics very well. Plaintiff’s counsel must bankroll these actions. Defense knows that and works strategically to deny, delay, limit, obfuscate, chip away at causes of action, and increase plaintiffs’ costs to run down plaintiff’s war chest and compel more favorable (desperation) settlements. ILS responded by offering the lowest hosting rate in the marketplace and then topped that with
a service bundle aimed at both lowering spend and making it more predictable. In addition, we do what virtually no defense oriented ESI vendor would consider – deferring and / or amortizing plaintiff’s discovery costs over the course of the case. We demonstrate our passion for the mission by putting skin in the game.
