Complimentary LexisNexis® Webinar on Bensen & Myers’ Best Practices for Litigation Management Budgeting Tools, Settlement Strategies, and Solving Ethical Dilemmas

Thursday, May 12, 2011

2:00 PM - 4:15 PM (Americas) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

Corporations seek predictability. CEOs demand intelligently formed strategic plans based on thorough assessment of the market, reliable data and innovation. CEOs also expect flawless and ethical execution by well-trained and developed teams, using methods that keep costs under control or, better yet, reduce them. But litigation often brings unforeseen turbulence that that sends those plans into a tailspin. And for most large corporations litigation is a part of their daily existence. Can the rules of running a business be applied to litigation itself? Are there methods of adding a level of predictability to the process? How can litigation teams be trained and developed? How can costs be controlled, reduced or avoided?

LexisNexis will host a panel featuring two experienced litigators and authors, along with an expert on Legal Process Outsourcing to provide you with guidance and insights on these issues during the complimentary webinar “Bensen & Myers’ Best Practices for Litigation Management - Budgeting Tools, Settlement Strategies, and Solving Ethical Dilemmas.” The webinar is scheduled on Thursday, May 12, 2011 from 2:00 to 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time.
