Litigation is often high-stakes and high-pressure—and how a company manages it can make a major difference in the outcome. While no business intends to make mistakes during a lawsuit, certain missteps are all too common. Identifying these pitfalls in advance can help companies navigate litigation more strategically and protect their long-term interests.
