Which is Faster? Law Or Science?

Science and technology is advancing at a rapid rate. With each passing day, new technologies and advancements make our world easier, safer and point toward a brighter future. But with each advancement and innovation, legal issues arise. The technology of the 21st century is often entrusted to law firms who operate under a 20th century business model. They cannot hope to comprehend the complex issues involved in technological advancements, much less keep up to speed with today's legal world. For clients who need legal representation in advanced technological areas, it would be foolish to consider a law firm that didn't have the necessary technical expertise. Started by experienced lawyers Dale G. Markland and Tara Hanley, Markland Hanley is a truly unique twenty-first century law firm-focused on diversity, advanced technology litigation, and time efficient and cost effective representation.

Markland Hanley regularly represents clients in litigation in which complex scientific and technical issues arise, including products liability actions and toxic tort actions. They seek to represent clients in the most advanced technology industries such as those manufacturing and supplying pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and biogenetics, computers and computer chips, and products utilizing robotics, artificial intelligence technology, and nanotechnology. They also have significant experience in other types of litigation involving injuries to reputation, including Internet reputational injuries, and other personal injuries and in complex commercial litigation, including business torts and breach of contract.

The attorneys at Markland Hanley have represented clients whose litigation customarily involves highly specialized engineering, medical, bioscientific, toxicological and epidemiological causation issues and other scientific and technical issues, including those clients in the pharmaceutical, heavy truck, automobile, automotive components, cosmetics and hair preparations, industrial gas, medical device, chemical, petrochemical and pesticides industries. We also have significant experience in representing hazardous waste generators.

Because Markland Hanley focuses their practice on limited specific technical areas, their knowledge of the technical issues arising in litigation regarding such areas is likewise extremely deep and well organized. They systematically review all Texas Supreme Court cases dealing with products liability law and exclusion of expert's testimony and continually update their summaries on these subjects, resulting in reduced time for billing personnel and cost efficiencies. Among other things, the following are tied into these exhaustive legal summaries: pleadings, deposition questions for adverse experts, motions to strike expert's testimony, motions for summary judgment and briefs, motions in limine, motions for instructed verdict and proposed jury issues and instructions.

These time efficiencies lead to significantly reduced hours for billing personnel and significant cost reductions for the client without reducing the thoroughness, effectiveness or quality of the legal actions. Dale Markland and Tara Hanley pride themselves on not only providing expert legal representation but also maintaining cost efficiencies. To do otherwise would be not only unprofessional, but foolish as well.
