Webinar Series - Commercial Litigation Outlook: Insights and Predictions for Litigation Trends in 2023

Welcome to the third annual installment of Seyfarth Shaw’s Commercial Litigation Outlook, in which our nationally-recognized team provides insights about litigation issues and trends to expect in 2023.

The likely continuing global tumult and increasing chances for a recession will weigh heavily on the litigation outlook for 2023. In short, we expect an uneven year where some litigation booms and some busts. As was true last year, the trick to navigating the upcoming challenges will require clients and their counsel to be adaptive, creative, and proactive.

Join us for a three-part webinar series, where members of our Commercial Litigation practice group will discuss key trends in the commercial litigation space in the following areas: 

• Antitrust
• Bankruptcy
• Consumer Class Actions
• Consumer Financial Services Litigation
• eDiscovery & Innovation
• ESG
• Franchise & Distribution
• Health Care Litigation
• Insurance
• International Dispute Resolution
• Privacy
• Real Estate Litigation
• Securities & Fiduciary Duty Litigation
• Trade Secrets, Computer Fraud & Non-Competes
• Trial Outlook
