Each year corporate law departments spend millions of dollars on Motions to Dismiss, Preliminary Objections and Motions for Summary Judgement, and the result, most often, is not dispositive. This program will offer a critical look at the state of the law and practice surrounding dispositive motions, leaving in-house practitioners better equipped to consider the cost/benefit analysis of dispositive motions in their cases.

Managing Legal Disputes in a Pre-Litigation Environment

In-house attorneys play a critical role in navigating disputes that arise before a lawsuit is filed. The effective management of these disputes can prevent costly litigation for the company and minimize risk and exposure to the company if the company is ultimately sued. Jacqueline and Indira will provide the perfect perspective with both the corporate transactional considerations and litigation considerations for navigating these pre-litigation disputes. 

Topics include:

  • Best practices for your business affairs
  • Ensuring your corporate documents, contracts and policies are adequate to minimize risk for the company.
  • Predicting and identifying disputes
  • Negotiating disputes and when to engage outside counsel
  • Attorney client privilege considerations
  • Insurance considerations
  • Litigation holds and the duty to preserve evidence
  • Lessons learned from disputes and strategies for avoiding the next occurrence
