Conquering the Mountain
What businesses really need to know and understand about litigation
Originally Held: June 8
Time: 11 a.m. to noon
Cost: Complimentary
Program Description:
Shock is the first response many people have when they are sued, especially for the first time. Then comes the realization of just how big an obstacle the lawsuit will be to their primary focus on business operations and the threat it could represent to profitability.
Conquering the proverbial litigation mountain is no small task. Success starts with understanding the litigation process. Only then can you effectively prepare for and respond to a lawsuit when it happens.
This webinar explained (in plain English) the various aspects of business litigation and explore some of the dangers and unseen crevasses one can unwittingly stumble into along the way. Below are some of the specific topics our presenters covered:
- Jurisdiction and venue

- The summons, complaint, answer and affirmative defenses
- Litigation holds
- Initial disclosures
- The discovery process
- Case evaluation and facilitation
- Motion practice
- Settlement conferences
- Trials
- Some common litigation mistakes
