Join the Business Litigation Practice Group of the Complex Commercial Litigation Section of the MBA and its guest speakers at this FREE roundtable event hosted at Mintz Levin.

In a lively question and answer bench/bar roundtable format, two sitting Business Litigation Session (BLS) judges and two experienced business litigators will address a number of timely questions for the BLS practitioner on the use (and sometimes, overuse) of summary judgment motions. Topics include:

  • Whether to file a motion for summary judgment
  • When are partial motions for summary judgment useful
  • How to avoid Rule 9A(b)(5) pitfalls
  • How to make briefs effective
  • How to present a persuasive oral argument

Don't miss this opportunity to have your questions addressed and to network with other practitioners in your area of practice. Light refreshments will be served.
