Reviewing documents in a legal case is grunt work. Thousands of pages may have to be reviewed in complex corporate litigation cases. Because it's tedious and time-consuming, this function is usually relegated to the most junior attorneys at most law firms.

So it might surprise you to know that William Beil--a shareholder at Rouse Hendricks German May PC since 1992, one of the most successful corporate litigation attorneys in the Midwest, a man whose work has resulted in verdicts, arbitration awards, or settlements on behalf of his clients exceeding $600 million--insists on personally reviewing every document in his cases.
