Course Overview

While some companies manage to avoid litigation, most will encounter it.

Litigation management is complex, time-consuming, and requires an investment in capable human resources. Assessing litigation risk involves looking at possible resolutions (e.g., settlements) and the costs of a legal defense.

It may be a series of repetitive matters in particular subject matter areas, a critical issue with significant potential cost or reputational effects, or "bet the company" litigation where the future of the company is at stake. Many larger companies have in-house litigation management attorneys, but in small- to medium-sized companies, the job often falls to non-lawyers.

Join this CPE Business Law webinar; we will review the key considerations in managing substantive commercial disputes, ways of managing disputes, resolution best practices, and more.
