Strategic Considerations and Best Practices for Defending Against Multiparty Defect Claims


Is there truth in the saying "misery loves company"? Having more defendants — and their wallets — in a lawsuit can only help your client, right? What are the risks and benefits of being "one among many" in a complex, multi-party construction defect lawsuit?

In this session, we talk about the contractual roles involved in multiparty defect litigation, the pros and cons of crossclaims, tolling agreements, joint defense agreements, expert sharing, and empty chairs.
