Description: Please join Ad Idem on January 13, 2026, “Before You Throw that Demand Letter in the Trash: Assessing Litigation Risk in 2026”. Our panel of expert speakers will cover the types of risks that companies consider when facing litigation, including financial impacts, business objectives, reputational risks, and operational impacts. Our speakers will cover strategies for protecting your company and managing stakeholders’ risk tolerance based in regions around the globe. For in-house counsel, we aim to provide practical tips for assessing and managing litigation risk; for outside counsel, we aim to provide insights about your clients’ thought processes in making decisions about litigation strategy.
