Litigation management involves taking proactive steps to reduce the risk of lawsuits and minimize their damage, including exploring potential areas of responsibility, purchasing liability insurance, and having a comprehensive dispute management system in place. It is a key component of overall risk management strategy for businesses.
Litigation management refers to the practices put in place by a company or entity to avoid the risk and potential of a lawsuit. It may include taking specific, concrete actions to avoid being sued, such as obtaining a declaratory judgment on the meaning of a contract or making an in-depth study of whether the company’s actions were in potential violation of any law or legal principle . It may also include assessing the chances of a lawsuit occurring and purchasing liability insurance to protect against possible lawsuits.
Litigation management is part of an overall risk management strategy that many companies have in place. Litigation can cost a business hundreds, or even millions or billions of dollars, so taking proactive steps to reduce the risk of litigation, or minimize the damage that litigation can cause, is essential to the smooth running of a business. It is even more important in situations where a business is subject to litigation; for example, a pharmaceutical company releasing new drugs must have a comprehensive and comprehensive dispute management system in case one of these drugs is later found to be defective or have dangerous side effects.
One of the key principles of litigation management involves exploring any potential areas of responsibility. For example, a retail store owner would like to think of anything he could potentially be sued over; for example, he could be subject to legal action if he sells a defective product or if someone slips and falls on his premises. A manufacturer should also consider any possible injury that could happen to a user of its product that could lead to a lawsuit, but it should also consider additional potential sources of litigation, such as employee injury.
Once a business has made a careful assessment of all the situations in which it could be subject to legal action, it can take steps to purchase liability insurance or protection. This is a critical step in the litigation management process, as the insurer transfers the financial risk of a lawsuit to the insurer. If a company is sued, its insurer will pay the attorney’s fees and any damages or settlement premiums, up to the policy limit. Therefore, determining what types of insurance to purchase – from an auto insurance policy to general or general liability policy – and what amounts of insurance to purchase are a key component of business planning.
