Book Description:
Litigation Client Strategies for the UK is an authoritative, insider's perspective on the best practices for representing and advising companies involved in civil and commercial litigation in the United Kingdom. Featuring partners and shareholders from some of the UK's leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through a variety of common litigation situations and describe the role of the lawyer and the responsibilities he or she has to their client. These top litigators reveal their advice for building a trusting relationship, pleading a statement of case, deciding whether to litigate or settle, and preventing unrealistic client expectations. Additionally, the authors discuss the differences in how US and UK litigation is handled and introduce new court tactics. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the strategies for success within this complex area of law. Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future.
