Rule 56 motions for summary judgment are among the most document-intensive filings in federal practice. Whether you are moving for summary judgment or opposing one, the work requires exhaustive record review, precise citation, and meticulous exhibit preparation. Legal1Up provides end-to-end support for every phase.
Our Eight Core Services
1. Document Inventory
Before drafting begins, we catalog the entire record. Every deposition transcript, production document, interrogatory response, and filing is indexed and searchable. This inventory becomes the foundation for everything that follows.
2. Statement of Undisputed Material Facts (SUMF)
We draft proposed undisputed facts with pinpoint record citations. Each fact is tied to specific deposition testimony, document evidence, or discovery responses. We organize facts by element of the claims or defenses at issue.
3. Response to Opposing SUMF
When responding to the opposing party’s statement of facts, we identify genuine disputes, marshal contradicting evidence, and draft responses that clearly articulate why each fact is disputed with specific record citations.
4. Statement of Disputed Facts
For the opposing party, we prepare a separate statement of additional material facts that preclude summary judgment, each supported by record evidence the movant cannot overcome.
5. Response to Statement of Disputed Facts
We draft targeted responses that demonstrate either the absence of genuine dispute or the immateriality of the asserted facts.
6. Affidavits and Declarations
We prepare draft declarations and affidavits for party and non-party witnesses, ensuring each statement is based on personal knowledge and addresses specific elements of the motion.
7. Deposition Excerpting
We identify and excerpt relevant deposition testimony for inclusion in the summary judgment record. Each excerpt is tied to a specific fact or legal argument, with full transcript references.
8. Exhibit List Preparation
We compile, organize, and index all exhibits for filing. This includes Bates-stamped documents, deposition excerpts, discovery responses, and any other record evidence. Each exhibit is cross-referenced to the brief and statement of facts.
