Post-COVID Litigation: How to Defend Against New Tactics Being Used by Plaintiffs

The pandemic has changed the landscape for litigating cases, and with that comes the challenge of identifying and defending new strategies implemented by plaintiffs to expedite cases.

This program, presented by Ellen Greiper, partner at Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP, and Diana Gerstberger of Axis Capital, will discuss new post-COVID litigation tactics currently used by plaintiffs to expedite their cases, including the use of notices to admit, premature summary judgment motions, and the use of litigation funding.
