Small department practitioners will appreciate the sage advise you'll receive from this panel of your in-house peers. We'll explore various aspects of managing litigation in a company with a small law department. Topics to be covered include the efficient division of pretrial responsibilities between in and outside counsel, ways to minimize the impact of litigation through document retention practices, development of corporate culture, and other legal strategies, and client service within the organization (including deposition defense and representation of the company in court). We'll also review the real-life issue of how to allocate limited resources to the litigation effort and provide contrasting views on the level of involvement required of small law department practitioners at various stages of litigation.
