For many years now, the Plaintiffs’ Bar has used litigation tactics consistent with the “Reptile Theory” to gain an advantage in the litigation and influence the ultimate outcome in the courtroom. In this presentation, we will address ways to combat these tactics by transforming the perception of the company from the inception of the case in the United States.
