Few cases rise to the level of catastrophic, but when they do they require a more customized, unified, and expensive effort from the outset. The audience will learn why catastrophic litigation should be handled differently from litigation that's just important. When the consequences of the litigation may include the demise of the company or its business model, in-house counsel's every move can be second guessed, and everything is on the table. This program will assist the audience in every phase of catastrophic litigation, from selecting the right team to setting an initial, proactive game plan to execution late in the game. The panel, comprised solely of in-house veterans of catastrophic litigation, will share the strategies, tools, and techniques they employ for identifying these cases and the various steps they have taken, from initial receipt of a demand to a final jury decision in the case.
