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.
