Affirmative Recovery – Legal Departments Can No Longer Afford To Be Only Cost Centers

Event | 07.11.19, 6:30 AM CDT - 8:00 AM CDT

Address

Bridgestone Tower - Bridgestone Americas Corporate HQ
200 4th Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37201

In recent years, 75% of Fortune 500 companies were plaintiffs in recovery matters. Many of those and other large companies have developed affirmative recovery programs and have dedicated resources in legal and procurement to recoup the value of affirmative opportunities created by the business. As in-house counsel and legal departments seek to bring added value in the current corporate environment, a mature and comprehensive program can generate multiple significant recoveries annually. But, as in-house counsel and departments are already stretched, how do you navigate the dynamic world of affirmative recovery to start or grow a program?


Partner Daniel Sasse, Partner Deborah Arbabi and Senior Counsel Joe Lines will be presenting during the event.
