NEW YORK - Feb. 26, 2019 - PRLog -- TKG /The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: "Asbestos Litigation Risks: How Recent Changes in Asbestos Landscape May Affect Your Reserves and Litigation Exposure in 2019 and Beyond". This event is scheduled for Thursday, March 14, 2019 @ 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM ET

Event Synopsis:

An asbestos-related case is among the most challenging lawsuits to litigate. Given its complex nature and statutes of limitations, proving or defending against an asbestos exposure claim can be arduous and divisive. In addition, recent developments that continue to shape the litigation landscape, significantly pose implications to the firms' reserves and potential exposure to litigation risks.

Despite the decreased number of asbestos injury claims filed in 2018, companies must still not be complacent. They must keep themselves abreast of the emerging regulatory trends in the asbestos industry and to revisit their existing practices to mitigate possible risks. Likewise, litigators must be well-versed with the legal procedures and litigation know-hows to successfully bring out an asbestos lawsuit.

In a LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group will provide an in-depth discussion of the evolving risks in asbestos litigation. Speakers will also analyze recent cases and rulings and will present best litigation strategies that would help practitioners in this complex legal climate.

Key topics include:

1.     Environmental Liabilities and Contaminated Water Supplies
2.     Asbestos Litigation and Due Diligence
        • Recent Trends in Filings and Settlements of Asbestos Litigation
