Defending Fraudulent Fraud Cases

TRIAL.COM - NYC2013 - Nancy Marshall DEFENDING FRAUDULENT FRAUD CASES Nancy Marshall (Deutsch Kerrigan & Stiles; New Orleans, LA) presents at the The Network of Trial Law Firms' Litigation Management CLE SuperCourse: It doesn't get much dirtier than this. Plaintiffs use ethics complaints, RICO claims, garden variety fraud allegations, false allegations concerning violations of federal statutes and more in their efforts to cram down settlements. Some plaintiffs attempt to escalate negligence into fraud claims, or fix on alleged misrepresentations to courts. Some involve bad business deals and a deep-pocket lawyer. Trial lawyer Nancy Marshall will describe this risk and talk about how it can be minimized.
