Overview:

Commercial litigation is among the many areas of law affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in several case delays and significant business litigation proceeding restrictions. Furthermore, the currently implemented remote hearings also add a great deal of uncertainty and this will likely continue for a period of time as in-person arrangements are not possible yet. These issues bring further complexities and challenges in the determination of proceedings and trials, thus creating a crucial need to be conversant with the nuances of the situation and other updates.

In this LIVE CLE Webcast, commercial litigation experts Rogge Dunn (Rogge Dunn Group, PC) and Elena Bauer (Burr & Forman LLP) will present an in-depth analysis of the current trends surrounding commercial litigation. Speakers will also discuss the implications of COVID-19 and offer the best strategies to devise effective litigation tactics even amidst the challenges of the pandemic.

Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:

  • Commercial Litigation –Trends and Developments
  • COVID -19 Implications
  • Notable Court Rulings
  • Best Litigation Tips and Strategies
  • What Lies Ahead
