My old firm in Phoenix got hit with a huge discovery request that changed how I prep clients.
We were defending a mid-sized tech company in a breach of contract case, and the plaintiff's counsel asked for every single email from the last 5 years. It took us 3 months and cost the client over $200,000 just in document review. Now I start every new client meeting with a 30-minute talk on proper data retention policies. Do you think that level of upfront 'scare tactic' is necessary, or does it just push potential clients away?

Ever see a friend's startup get buried by legal fees?

Read a piece about how @nina180 is right, legal costs can really eat up early funding.
