What is “Bet the Company” litigation? This fast-paced, high-stakes, complex litigation can involve securities law, intellectual property, mass torts, products liability, antitrust and other substantive areas of law. When regulatory investigations arise and overlapping cases are filed in multiple state and federal jurisdictions around the country, matters can become even more complicated. The very existence of your client’s company and livelihood can be at stake.
The presence of multijurisdictional legal, business and technology issues requires sophisticated case management skills and techniques. This program brings together the experienced practitioners who litigate these cases and the judges who rule on them to provide you with the most up-to-date intelligence on proven strategies and tools. Panelists will include both defense and plaintiffs’ counsel experienced in multijurisdictional litigation, regulatory attorneys who handle complex investigations, distinguished judges, and in-house counsel.
