Litigation Avoidance

Avoiding litigation can often save our clients valuable time and money. Ice Miller’s litigators devote substantial time to planning litigation avoidance strategies, including risk management programs designed to minimize lawsuits. Examples of areas in which we have developed litigation avoidance strategies for our clients include:

• Products liability—assisting manufacturers in the oversight and management of claims and claims prevention as well as risk management issues.
  
• Construction and development—working with construction clients to handle avoidance or resolution of disputes that arise while projects are in process.
  
• Employment and pension disputes—providing assistance to resolve benefit disputes before they reach the courthouse.
  
• Intellectual property—helping clients protect patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets from unauthorized use.
