Case Studies
The Disclosure Pilot Scheme (DPS) was designed to mitigate some of the “excessive costs, scale and complexity” experienced by parties under the previous set of standards for disclosure. With only months to go on the DPS, A&M surveyed 250 senior lawyers to gauge their views on the process and what improvements can be made.
