Strategies of Successful Litigators: Best Practices of the World’s Top Litigation Lawyers

Inside the Minds: Strategies of Successful Litigators is an authoritative, insider's perspective on the art of litigation and the characteristics and essential capabilities of the successful litigator. Featuring department heads, group chairs, and leading partners, all representing some of the nation's top firms and companies, this book provides a broad, yet comprehensive overview of this dynamic practice area, discussing the current shape and future state of litigation. From the steps involved in preparing for a trial, including counseling clients, gathering evidence, and taking depositions, to tactics around handling negotiations, preparing for cross-examination, and building credibility with the judge and jury, these authorities offer a detailed explanation of the litigation process, from both a prosecution and defendant standpoint. As they raise critical points around keeping up to date with the latest technological advances and ever-changing laws, these authors articulate the finer points around litigation now, and what will hold true into the future. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today as experts offer up their thoughts around the keys to becoming a winning litigator. Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
