How to Think About Litigation
Had a client ask me, will I win? And it just made me think about the incredible disconnect between what people think a lawsuit is about and what a lawsuit it really about.
Basics of litigation – big picture
Long, slow, expensive
Not great way to solve a problem
Either a last resort or a problem so big that it cannot wait or injunctive relief
Outside pressures play a big role
Loss of profits, waiting on money, financing, online listings, etc.
Personal or business decisions, selling the business, new projects, new hires, etc.
Procedure
Complaint, summons
Answer/MTD
Creating factual issues good for P bad for D
