The Federal Rule of Civil Procedure for complex litigation requires that the court hearing a complex litigation case initiates and implements efficient supervision and control of the litigation proceedings from the beginning of the process to ensure a fair resolution of the complex litigation issue before it. The procedure expects all parties and representing counsel to collaborate in a professional manner and work together for the free exchange of basic and essential information within the allotted time to allow for proper initial pre-discovery and planning as well as case preparation. The rule presumes the court and all representing counsel will cooperate for the evolution of the case and the progression of settlement negotiations in a fair manner. The Federal Rule of Civil Procedure grants the presiding judge special procedures for managing potentially difficult or protracted actions that may involve complex matters, multiple parties, difficult legal situations, or extraordinary proof issues.

Complex litigation regularly involves two or more separate cases that have some relation or link between them. This may include all pending associated cases or cases that may filed later in the same court even if the cases are filed in separate division of the court. All related cases should be assigned to the same judge even if the judge divides them up later. The Federal Rule of Civil Procedure permits the consolidation of related case for the purpose of coordination and planning.
Consolidation of related cases and pretrial proceedings is possible even when related cases are filed in different courts by having the related cases transferred to the consolidation court if personal jurisdiction and venue lie in the transferee forum. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation may also consolidate the related cases under a single district court.
In cases of complex litigation, it is important to assess if there are clear and acceptable guidelines for compensation and reimbursement as well as whether the arrangements for coordination among participating counsel are fair, reasonable, and efficient.
