In today's litigation environment, the threat of nuclear verdicts—massive monetary judgments that can destabilize corporations, trigger financial crises, and damage brand reputation—has become a critical concern for corporate counsel. To effectively protect organizations from catastrophic legal exposure, corporate legal teams must adopt a synergistic, multidimensional defense strategy that leverages trial expertise, appellate advocacy, and insurance recovery.

This Texas-CLE program, led by Haynes Boone attorneys Victor Vital (Trials), Mark Trachtenberg (Appellate), and Emily Buchanan (Insurance Recovery) with additional insights from Ritu Gupta (Assistant Vice President-Senior Legal Counsel at AT&T Services, Inc) offers an in-depth discussion on how corporate counsel can proactively eliminate, mitigate, or defend against the risk of nuclear verdicts. Through real-world case studies, strategic insights, and proven methodologies, participants will gain practical tools for safeguarding their organizations against potentially devastating verdicts.

Key Topics:

  1. Understanding the Nuclear Verdict Phenomenon: Trends, drivers, and risk factors.
  2. Trial Strategy for Minimizing Risk: Narrative development, jury persuasion, and damages defense.
  3. Appellate Safeguards: Preserving error, shaping key issues, and securing favorable post-trial outcomes.
  4. Risk Shifting Strategies: Maximizing insurance coverage and leveraging indemnity obligations to facilitate settlements.
