*This program is reserved for General Counsel*

In recent years, 75% of Fortune 500 companies were plaintiffs in recovery matters. Many large companies have developed affirmative recovery programs and have dedicated resources in legal and procurement to recoup the value of affirmative opportunities. As in-house counsel and legal departments seek to bring added value in the current corporate environment, a mature and comprehensive program can generate multiple significant recoveries annually. But, as in-house counsel and departments are already stretched, how do you navigate the dynamic world of affirmative recovery to start or grow a program?

Join our panelists for a 1-hour presentation that will provide practical guidance on establishing your program, including ways to build on existing and ongoing efforts. We will cover specific opportunities that are timely in 2022, and those that are likely to develop given enforcement priorities and the global environment. The material will also provide steps needed to partner with corporate business teams in order to maximize value from each opportunity and the program overall, in ways that align business and legal goals.
