Abstract
Commercial litigation is among the many areas of law affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in several case delays and significant business litigation proceeding restrictions. Furthermore, the currently implemented remote hearings also add a great deal of uncertainty and this will likely continue for a period of time as in-person arrangements are not possible yet. These issues bring further complexities and challenges in the determination of proceedings and trials, thus creating a crucial need to be conversant with the nuances of the situation and other updates.
In this LIVE CLE Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will present an in-depth analysis of the current trends surrounding commercial litigation. Speakers will also discuss the implications of COVID-19 and offer the best strategies to devise effective litigation tactics even amidst the challenges of the pandemic.
Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:
• Commercial Litigation –Trends and Developments
• COVID -19 Implications
• Notable Court Rulings
• Best Litigation Tips and Strategies
• What Lies Ahead
