Minimizing Cost, Uncertainty, and Risks
Join Barnes & Thornburg for two upcoming seminars on how to minimize the cost and uncertainty of litigation, and how to deal with the risks associated with toxic torts.

 
Minimizing the Cost and Uncertainty of Litigation
Tuesday, September 16, 2014
Speakers: Kelly Hartzler, Tracy Knox, and Alice Springer

Litigation can be costly and unpredictable. Regardless of the nature of the litigation, it needlessly diverts resources from advancing your company's business interests. Our litigation attorneys will provide insights on how to effectively limit your company's exposure to litigation. Our discussion will focus on actions that you can take now, before a dispute arises, to reduce the financial and business risk of the dispute, such as:
 

• preventive management of risk
• controlling costs
• use of indemnity agreements and other contracts to limit and shift liability
• use of alternative dispute resolution to avoid the courtroom
• managing consumer expectations in a manner that reduces the likelihood of dispute.
