Analyze wrongful termination claims and build litigation strategy
What You Can Do
Systematically evaluate wrongful termination claims by identifying applicable legal theories, organizing evidence into structured matrices, and developing litigation strategy. You'll assess settlement versus trial prospects, calculate damages exposure, and create opposing counsel strategy profiles to strengthen your case preparation and negotiation position.
Features
Identify applicable wrongful termination theories including at-will employment exceptions, discrimination, retaliation, public policy violations, breach of contract, and tort claims relevant to your specific facts
Systematically organize case evidence into structured matrices by relevance, legal theory, strength rating, and admissibility for efficient case development and trial preparation
Evaluate case strength across multiple dimensions to estimate settlement ranges, identify litigation risks, and compare cost-benefit analysis of trial versus negotiated resolution
Calculate compensatory damages (back pay, front pay, lost benefits), liquidated damages, and potential punitive damages exposure based on jurisdiction and claim type
Build detailed employment relationship timelines mapping employment events, performance evaluations, termination, and discovery milestones to identify causal patterns and break in causation arguments
Profile key witnesses by credibility factors, potential testimony strength, bias exposure, and impeachment risk to guide deposition strategy and trial preparation
Anticipate opposing arguments, identify defense vulnerabilities, and model likely counter-narratives to prepare proactive responses and strengthen your litigation position
Rank documents by evidentiary impact and strategic importance to optimize discovery response, document production, and trial exhibit selection
Example Output
Case Analysis Summary
Viable Theories: Retaliation (strongest - temporal proximity, protected activity documented), discrimination (moderate - pattern evidence present but limited comparables), public policy violation (moderate - state-specific whistleblower protections apply)
Damages Estimate: Back pay $180K–$220K | Front pay $50K–$100K | Benefits mitigation $25K–$35K | Punitive damages exposure $50K–$150K (given documented retaliation)
Settlement Range: $200K–$400K (conservative) to $350K–$600K (optimistic), based on 45% litigation success probability and $1.2M trial cost exposure
Litigation Risks: Defendant's documented performance concerns create mitigation defense; proof of causal nexus between protected activity and termination is critical path item
Evidence Priority Matrix
| Evidence | Theory | Strength | Admissibility | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Internal policy prohibiting retaliation | Retaliation | High | Yes | Critical |
| Email showing protected activity (filed complaint) | Retaliation | High | Yes | Critical |
| Termination 14 days post-complaint | Retaliation | High | Yes | Critical |
| Prior performance ratings (all satisfactory) | Discrimination | Moderate | Yes | High |
| Similar employee non-termination (different protected class) | Discrimination | Moderate | Yes | High |
