Litigation and Dispute Resolution Insights

14 September 2007

Welcome to the September edition of Clayton Utz Litigation & Dispute Resolution Insights. We're excited to launch our first vodcast - a short film - in which we'll explain how you can avoid litigation, or at least survive it if it's unavoidable.

We'll also look for guidance in the recent Citigroup case, and learn about how far some types of insurance for product liability go.

By Peter Keel and Norman Lucas.

There are some simple things you can do to avoid litigation, or at least get out of it alive, say Peter Keel and Norm Lucas in our latest vodcast.

Fiduciary relationships, managing conflicts and Chinese walls

By Michael Legg and Nicholas Mavrakis.

Defective design - How far does your product liability cover go?

By Peter Mann and Ray Giblett.

A "quick shove kick", a leg amputation and a West Australian Supreme Court decision on "defective design" and "professional duty". How well do you understand the fine print of a product liability insurance policy and what do those exclusions mean, ask Peter Mann and Ray Giblett.

Understanding the litigation process

Litigation can sometimes seem like some form of mystical process about which parties have little understanding, which is why we've designed a workshop for anyone who could be involved in disputes.
