2022 Product Liability: Case Study and Workshop

Please join us for our 2022 Product Liability Workshop. We have presented this workshop for more than 25 years and employees from more than 750 companies have attended.

We use a real-world case study that spans a product's entire litigation cycle, from initial design and testing to a post-accident courtroom showdown. This year's workshop, as usual, will feature a new story with this year's saga focusing on the perils of commercial spaceflight. Topics covered will include product liability litigation pitfalls, discovery lessons learned, dealing with adverse expert testimony, and tactics used against corporate defendants in jury trials. We use materials from actual cases, including depositions, cross-examinations, smoking gun email and text messages, and the use of product website and sales materials in court. We also offer a refresher on product liability basics. The workshop focuses on ways to help employees work better, on a day-to-day basis, to reduce product liability exposure. Our workshop is very well regarded; more than one former attendee has described it as "One of the best classes I've ever attended."

The 2022 workshop will be an in-person intensive, one-day program held in our downtown Seattle office. A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided, and we hope you will stay for the cocktail reception.
