Vertex Chambers strongly believes that cases should be brought before courts or tribunals only if it would establish or reinforce legal rights. We are a staunch believer of not filing any case that would give clients the so-called “short term” benefit but would be unsuccessful after the substantial hearing is concluded.

To achieve this objective, there is an element of thoroughness that goes into our work. One can, of course, get away by not doing that; but, we, at Vertex Chambers, try to remain absolutely assiduous in case preparation to give our clients the best possible outcome.
The need for thorough preparation of cases or briefs is judicially recognized. In Rodriguez Machado v. Shinseki (2012), United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit, while rejecting an ill-prepared appeal, observed that proper case preparation meant (a) proper presentation of crucial facts; (b) reference to the necessary caselaw; and (c) properly reasoned analysis to support the litigant’s theories.

At Vertex Chambers, we offer a range of services to help firms, advocates, and individuals with merit assessment of any potential claim before courts or tribunals:

(a) draft merit assessment opinions or position papers for bringing an action;
(b) review and analyze trial records, factual assertions and other documents;
(c) assisting trial or appeal strategy;
(d) research and analyze caselaw; and
(e) draft persuasive petitions, affidavits, appellate documents, and written submissions.
