This program will look at the initial steps every company should take after it first learns of threatened litigation.  Topics will include:  preparing and implementing a proper litigation hold notice; evaluating possible removal or remand; ensuring work product and attorney-client privilege protections for the investigation; and alternative dispute resolution strategies.

The increasing focus on controlling the “litigation spend” and measuring litigation expenses against metrics can itself come at a high cost. Whether that cost is a high-profile loss or an unintentional misallocation of resources, it can be harmful when your company is facing serious litigation and it frequently undermines the original goals of corporate counsel. We will discuss the importance of building a relationship with your entire litigation team and embracing the unpleasant but inevitable tasks ahead. We will focus on achieving your goals in all kinds of litigation, by addressing the endgame at the outset and developing and committing to that endgame as litigation progresses to conclusion.

This October 7 virtual roundtable discussion, led by two high-profile litigators from Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis LLP, will allow attendees to engage in an interactive conversation about these crucial issues. The program will help in-house counsel to reflect on the challenges they face in keeping the focus on the endgame and fully embracing the task ahead in litigation matters.

RSVP below.  Zoom login credentials will be provided in the registration confirmation.
