MDL and Mass Tort Litigation Support That Scales With Your Discovery
Centralized deposition operations, remote/hybrid testimony governance, exhibit control, and indexed, trial-ready deliverables for complex multidistrict matters.
The MDL Reality
Early-stage MDLs often break down not because of legal strategy, but because discovery infrastructure fails to scale with complexity.
Where fragmentation starts
As MDLs accelerate, discovery volume expands faster than operational structure. Multiple vendors introduce fragmentation. Technology standards vary by firm. Exhibits fracture across repositories. Trial preparation is deferred until timelines compress.
Why governance matters early
Without early governance, deposition execution becomes inconsistent, rework increases, and leadership loses visibility and control across the docket. BlueBear engages early to establish centralized deposition operations, governance, and continuity—so discovery scales with structure rather than fragmentation.
Built for MDLs and high-stakes litigation
In MDL and mass tort litigation, the operational layer is the difference between momentum and rework. BlueBear helps standardize deposition execution across firms, jurisdictions, and deposition waves—so your team stays aligned and trial-ready from day one.
MDL deposition operations & governance
We help establish repeatable standards across counsel groups: protocols, escalation paths, quality checks, and consistent deliverable expectations across the docket.
Mass tort remote/hybrid deposition standards
Platform standards, governance, and continuity planning for remote and hybrid testimony—so quality stays high even as volume increases.
Centralized exhibit management at scale
Exhibit intake, labeling, controlled distribution, and version control designed for multi-firm use and cross-jurisdiction consistency.

How we work
Consultation & docket mapping
We map deposition volume, jurisdictions, counsel structure, and deliverables—then identify where governance removes friction and rework.
Standards & governance setup
We align on remote/hybrid standards, exhibit controls, naming conventions, and QC checkpoints to keep the docket consistent across teams.
Execution at scale
Large-volume scheduling coordination, conflict resolution, and rapid response to changes—built to support deposition waves without bottlenecks.
Indexed, trial-ready output
Deliverables formatted and organized for review and trial workflows, with clear handoffs that reduce downstream processing and last-minute scramble.
Why MDL leadership chooses BlueBear
MDL leadership teams engage BlueBear as a single accountable operational partner across the MDL lifecycle.
One operational team, accountable end-to-end
Rather than managing multiple vendors firm by firm, leadership works with one centralized team responsible for deposition execution, exhibit workflows, and trial-ready deliverables from early discovery through bellwether and trial.
Consistent execution
Centralized control
Continuity through trial
Single accountable partner
Not a transactional reporting vendor

BlueBear functions as an embedded extension of MDL leadership and litigation operations teams—maintaining governance, consistency, and readiness as the docket evolves.
MDL experience and court-aligned execution
BlueBear’s operational model is built around how MDLs actually run. We support discovery execution aligned with MDL leadership structures, court expectations, and national coordination requirements—maintaining controlled access, consistent standards, and compliant workflows.
Built around MDL lifecycle realities
Our teams support early lifecycle MDLs requiring structure from the outset, national deposition coordination across state and federal jurisdictions, and secure, governed access to exhibits and deposition deliverables.
Court-aware decisions, downstream-ready outputs

Trial readiness built in from day one
In MDLs, trial preparation cannot be deferred until discovery ends. BlueBear designs trial readiness into deposition execution from the start— so deposition output, exhibit workflows, and technology decisions support bellwether preparation and courtroom playback without last-minute rework.
Trial-integrated deposition execution
Trial-ready synchronized video depositions prepared in advance, coordinated with MDL strategy and timelines—so leadership isn’t forced to rebuild structure when the docket accelerates.
Continuity from discovery through trial
Centralized exhibit management aligned to trial workflows, courtroom playback optimization before timelines compress, and trial presentation, war room, and hot seat services coordinated with MDL strategy.
