The Disclosure Pilot Scheme covers how parties identify, exchange and manage documents in civil litigation, under the Civil Procedure Rules in England. A solicitor in this area helps prepare and respond to disclosure directions, coordinates document collection, preservation and search implications, drafts and negotiates orders for standard or bespoke disclosure, and advises on costs implications and potential sanctions for non-compliance. The work is shaped by case type, court direction, and the pilot’s parameters on scope, timing, and proportionality.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles the provisions, structures and interactions that govern disclosure: scope of search, retention and preservation duties, data handling across custodians, cross-border considerations where relevant, and the interplay with forensic or standard discovery tools. They manage interlocutory applications, exchange schedules, and ensure compliance with CPR disclosure obligations and pilot-specific thresholds.
