The best lawyers handling parallel proceedings combine proactive planning, cross-jurisdictional expertise and disciplined execution: they start with a rapid, thorough assessment of all related cases and applicable laws; appoint a lead coordinating counsel and suitable local teams; develop a written, step-by-step litigation plan that harmonizes pleadings, disclosure protocols and evidence preservation; implement robust document management and confidentiality measures; pursue tactical procedural remedies (stays, consolidation, anti-suit/anti-arbitration relief) when appropriate; use targeted discovery and phased approaches to control cost and focus on high-impact issues; explore ADR or settlement opportunities to reduce exposure; and maintain regular, transparent client reporting while continuously reassessing risks and options—this combination of habits and sequential actions helps prevent conflicting positions, control expenses, and achieve fair, enforceable outcomes across multiple forums.
