Plaintiffs’ Leadership just reminded counsel of their obligations under CMO 38 to promptly resolve all multiple representation issues identified in the Portal Administrator’s report.
That means meeting and conferring to resolve the representation issue, updating the MDL Portal, filing the appropriate dismissal, and reporting that dismissal back to the Portal Administrator.
In other words: someone has to untangle the duplicates.
And they’re doing it at a critical stage of the litigation.
This is exactly the problem we’ve been talking about at SMART Reviews LLC.
Duplicate representation doesn’t disappear because a case is viable. It doesn’t disappear because the records support the claim. And it certainly doesn’t disappear when a litigation moves toward resolution.
It becomes an operational problem that someone has to solve.
SMART Reviews Risk Insights is designed to find these conflicts much earlier.
For $50 per lead, we independently screen for potential duplicate representation so firms have an opportunity to address it before years of work and resources are invested.
We have no skin in the game. We don’t determine which firm should represent the claimant. We simply identify that a potential duplicate exists.
And as more firms use Risk Insights, our database becomes more robust, and our ability to identify these conflicts earlier becomes even stronger.
AFFF is a timely reminder: If duplicate representation needs to be resolved, why wait until leadership asks you to clean it up?
