Pre-Litigation Risk Assessment

Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.  – Anonymous.  

A significant part of any litigation analysis is to assess the risk to which a client is exposed, and to plan accordingly.  Our experienced litigators counsel clients regarding situations that may give rise to potential litigation and work collectively with the client to develop a plan of action that is best suited to meet the client's needs.  Recent examples include:

• Worked with multiple Fortune 500 companies to assess the legal risk associated with proposed changes to retiree health benefits.
• Advised companies with respect to restructuring plan governance and tightening plan document language to reduce risk attendant to employer stock investment option. 
• Advised financial institutions regarding risk associated with the use of affiliated mutual funds as investment options in the 401(k) plan for the financial institution's employees.
