Integrating Legal Expertise into Digital Communication: Exploring the Role of a Case Manager

The case manager legal has a vital role to play in some litigation processes. There is no doubt that it is necessary to have one of these experts by your side if you are dealing with cases that require advanced research, either in France or abroad. But what is this profession exactly?

What does a case manager legal do? We can define the case manager legal as an expert in charge of managing a case throughout a civil or penal procedure. He is skilled in case law, case-handling and managing civil or penal proceedings. He understands how investigations go forward and how to conduct them. As he is a professional, he is often certified and is used to seeking the truth in a limited amount of time.

The use of a digital communication platform When one’s in charge of the administration of a case, National or International, a sensitive approach to digital communication may be extremely useful. While the case manager will manage things the best he can, this type of tools can be a great way to foster communication between lawyers, judges, the police, investigators and experts.

Why is it necessary to have a case manager legal? There are many reasons to have one of these experts manage your case. Legal processes involve lot of time, money and you may have to travel to many places to gather the information you need. If you cannot go to a certain place and if an examination or investigation is necessary (like a search at someone’s home or headquarters) a case manager legal will take care of it. Sometimes the language barrier could also lead to such necessity.

Where are the “exceptions”? It could be the opening of a bank account overseas or it could also be gathering testimony overseas. If, for instance, you needed to obtain testimony from a witness that resides in Zimbabwe (and if the investigation took place in Zimbabwe) and then you needed to attend the hearing with your witness (if the Court doesn’t allow him to speak via video), you would need someone who could travel and deal with the situation for you.

A person possessing the adequate skillset There is no room for improvisation in such contexts: delays, procedures and rules are of the utmost importance, without them, you could lose a case or even worse, hurt someone’s reputation. This is why this type of professional is so important, especially when it comes to providing evidence. In our particular case we will focus on cases involving fraud, -the misrepresentation of the truth in order to deceive someone-.
