Red team analysis originated within the military and intelligence community as a way of stress-testing plans and assumptions before they were put into action. Rather than simply reviewing a strategy from the inside, a red team is assigned to think like an adversary, or simply to think differently, so that competing scenarios can be evaluated before a decision is finalized.

The value of the exercise lies not in second-guessing for its own sake, but in surfacing blind spots, untested assumptions, and alternative paths that the team closest to the plan may not see. Sarelson & Sajdera, PLLC brings that same discipline to the practice of law.

Litigation strategy is often developed by a single legal team that has been immersed in a case for months or years. That depth of knowledge is essential, but it can also make it difficult to see a case with fresh eyes, or to fully consider approaches that fall outside the strategy already in motion.

We offer red team analysis of litigation strategy for clients and for other law firms, providing an independent, candid assessment of the strategy, arguments, and risks in a matter.
