About this audiobook
In Business Litigation Demystified, award-winning Quinn Emanuel trial lawyer Diane Cafferata walks U.S. and foreign corporate personnel through the U.S. litigation process.
You will learn:
• What to look for in selecting a litigation team and when to engage them
• How to dismiss or narrow the claims against your company
• How to keep the discovery process targeted and sensible
• How to make the most of motion practice
• What to consider in selecting expert witnesses
• How trials work, and what your personnel should expect during the trial
• How to reduce and manage litigation costs
• How to create leverage for better settlements
• What exit strategies are available along the way and ways to avoid litigation altogether
• How to engage your company’s resources, including the litigation team, for maximal effect and minimal business disruption
Armed with this knowledge, you and your team will have richer discussions with your outside litigators or in-house counsel, a deeper understanding of the strategic decisions being contemplated, better control over litigation expenditures, better settlement and avoidance opportunities, and more.
Foreign business leaders and lawyers will especially enjoy this overview of the U.S. litigation process and what advantages and disadvantages it brings to litigants in comparison with other legal systems.
Diane explains it all in plain, higher-level concepts, with legal terms and important points highlighted in callout boxes. Business Litigation Demystified is a practical and painless guide to understanding the dynamics of the U.S. litigation process.
