Location

Nationwide

All work performed remotely.

  • Your name, firm, and role so ShadowCounsel can run a conflict check before you send any case details.
  • Brief case description including parties, case type, jurisdiction. Two or three sentences is enough.
  • What you're looking for: a full chronology, a case-merit screen, an expert referral, or something else.
  • Timeline including any filing deadlines, trial dates, or expert disclosure dates that drive urgency.

Do not send case materials, medical records, or protected health information in the initial email. A secure transmission channel will be set up after the conflict check clears.
