Bruce Meckler Mari Henry Leigh Technology and life science litigation often involves complex intellectual property, contract, unfair competition, antitrust and product disparagement issues. It can also involve class-actions in multiple jurisdictions, governmental investigations and “trial” by the media. It is expensive and getting more costly every day. As in-house counsel, it is your job to keep legal costs in check. If you are lucky, there will be a “prevailing party” or a fee-shifting statute or agreement that will let you recoup some or all of those costs when the litigation is over. At this point, your management strategies and legal costs may be scrutinized by opposing counsel, attorney fee experts and the courts. Until then, however, there are any number of “others” you have to keep happy with the costs from your board of directors and shareholders to a co-developer or marketer of your product to your customers and your insurance carriers. Now multiply this by the number of cases in your portfolio, add in your transactional matters and you have some serious cost control issues to manage across the board. In this session, leading attorney fee experts will provide the secrets to keeping everyone happy, including a behind the scenes look at the “red flags” of excessive and unreasonable legal costs; common mistakes made in a managing high stakes litigation and portfolio costs; effective cost control strategies to avoid those mistakes; and proven strategies to proactively manage your entire litigation portfolio and total legal spend.
