Reviewed

Pedro Freyre

Learning Objectives

Course Description

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.

Daniel Raidt, CFE, CPA (US)

Good course for individuals that have not had experience with litigation before.

Steve Cobb, CPA (US)

Instructor was fantastic!

Lisa Douglass, CPA/CFF, CPA (US)

The course is very basic, but there was some discussions that were helpful. Handout #1 (the slides) were more of an outline and could have been more useful if there was more detail for future reference. I find I learn more when i can listen and not have to worry about writing down a lot of notes during the presentation.
