Drafting and maybe even arguing, in tier 1 firms I've worked on drafting pleadings and research mostly. The partners argue as well if the client doesn't request hiring a senior advocate. Arbitrations are entirely handled by them. Even due diligence in some cases, very few corporate teams actually pursue the litigation aspect of their subject area, they may advise. For example, the banking and finance team advised a client regarding cirp but all the applications and the pleadings were drafted by the disputes team who actually went to court as well to file and argue. Disputes work is 90% drafting and research. The significant amount of evidence and documents makes it a very time consuming process, like in an arbitration you get like 50,000 pages of evidence which you have to turn into a statement of claim, list of documents, requisition list, etc.

I understand that the DR&A team would deal with litigation and arbitration. But then there are other dedicated teams such as competition, projects or tax which take care of all advisory, documentation and litigation surrounding their team. In that case what other kinds of litigation is left to be taken care of by DR&A?
