Litigation Strategies for Responding to Significant Consumer Threats
I've been invited to speak this Friday at the University of Oregon School of Law's symposium entitled "Cultivating Our Future: New Landscapes in Food and Agricultural Law and Policy" as a part of the "Food for Thought - Strategies for Advocacy" panel.
I'll outline a series of tools food lawyers can and should use to assist their clients in responding to significant consumer claims. I'll explain:
1. How a client can determine whether a claim has merit,
2. What should be done the moment any significant claim is received,
3. The importance of determining a trial strategy at the earliest possible moment, and
4. The three types of consumer claims seen most often and how to respond to each.
