Litigation Strategy: Basics & Hot Topics

Even when you need to litigate a dispute, you probably don’t want the case to become the Thirty Years’ War (or even the Seven Years’ War). Efficient litigation requires strategic thinking and action on the front end.

During this program, Robinson Bradshaw litigators, including the former solicitor general of North Carolina, and SECU’s deputy chief legal officer, will focus on strategies for winning a lawsuit, or at least getting the upper hand, in the early stages. They will cover front-end topics including:

• forum selection,
• choosing claims and remedies,
• the pros and cons of compelling arbitration,
• motions to dismiss, and
• early injunctive relief.
