IMS Legal Strategies

Burn injuries change lives. Long-term recovery is not only about immediate medical care. Planning for life after the hospital, especially after catastrophic burns, is a major part of helping survivors thrive again. We work with attorneys and claims teams to connect them with experts who understand the full scope of care planning for burn survivors. That includes medical needs, rehabilitation, home adjustments, and financial impact. Our latest blog breaks down key considerations for catastrophic burn care planning and why early coordination matters for clients and their legal strategies.

How do you present financial concepts to a jury that may have little to no background in the relevant industry and laws? Jurors cannot rule in your favor if they do not understand your narrative. Strategically using themes, analogies, and visuals can make or break your case. The IMS team helps clients bridge that communication gap in complex securities litigation. Senior Jury Consulting Advisor Chris Dominic had the opportunity to sit down with Trial Consultant Michelle Cooper, Esq., to discuss how trial lawyers can use visual storytelling tools to make even the most technical securities cases both accessible and memorable to juries. Watch the full interview and learn why powerful visuals are more than pretty—they are persuasive: https://lnkd.in/d8mwjgHh.

As a former securities fraud litigator, Michelle Cooper knows firsthand how challenging it is to translate legal arguments into something a jury can emotionally and logically follow. Her pivot to trial consulting came from a desire to make courtroom presentations more creative and effective. That is where analogies come in. From “cherry-picking evidence” to “tightrope-walking investors,” they provide jurors with mental shortcuts that make complex claims digestible. Themes of trust and betrayal resonate intensely for plaintiffs, while the defense may rely on the principles of reasonableness and business judgment. Both sides benefit from relatable visual metaphors, such as two identical gift boxes—one filled with value and the other empty—to illustrate concepts like misrepresentation or broken promises.
