US Business Litigation Risks: A Comprehensive Handbook for Business Owners and the Attorneys Who Advise Them
25.03.2025
The new edition of US Business Litigation Risks is now live for subscribers to Law Firm Management - Compliance and Ethics.Why are companies so frequently sued in the United States, and how might these business litigation risks be avoided through preventative measures and more effectively managed?
This book, now in its second edition, answers those two weighty questions. The central premise of the work is that costly and protracted lawsuits in the US are often traceable to unforced errors companies make time and again. By better understanding the sources of commercial litigation, including the various legal theories of plaintiff’s lawyers and current litigation trends, preventive steps can be implemented, reducing these risks and saving the company millions in legal fees and liabilities.
Kent Schmidt draws on over twenty-five years of experience defending companies throughout the US in almost every conceivable type of commercial litigation. He applies a “lessons-learned” approach from these experiences, to examine how companies can create a unique litigation risk profile to identify and address their primary litigation vulnerabilities. The second part of the book outlines how companies embroiled in US litigation can manage the process, from the filing of the lawsuit, expensive discovery, trial or arbitration and various dispute resolving opportunities along the way.
