Wednesday, February 28th • 12:00 PM – 2:45 PM ET
Contract disputes with parties and third parties are common and even to be expected. Even the most carefully drafted and negotiated agreement can find itself the subject of sprawling litigation involving multiple parties, claims, counterclaims, and cross-claims.
Having a deliberate, strategic action plan to employ early on in a dispute or anticipated dispute can save a company significant time and expense in protracted litigation. A front-loaded, tailored approach often leads to the best result.
