Podcasts about litigation

Chris Zona is a litigation partner at Mandelbaum Barrett, practicing primarily out of New York City. With nearly 100 trials under his belt, Chris helps investors and businesses turn legal conflict into capital. By leveraging litigation, non-performing loans, and distressed assets, he shows multifamily and commercial real estate investors how to uncover hidden opportunities and generate outsized returns.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Litigation doesn't have to be a cost center—it can be a source of investment opportunities. Non-performing loans (NPLs) often sell at steep discounts, creating entry points below market value. Attorneys can help investors navigate complex foreclosure timelines and risks. Judicial vs. non-judicial foreclosure states dramatically change the investment timeline. Building strong banking and attorney relationships is essential to sourcing and executing distressed note deals.     Topics Turning Conflict into Capital How Chris reframes litigation as a tool to unlock hidden opportunities. Why distressed debt and litigation finance are increasingly relevant in today's market. Understanding Non-Performing Loans NPLs often sell at 60–80% of face value, providing opportunities for investors. Secondary markets create deal flow as banks offload risky assets to redeploy capital. The Role of Litigation Attorneys Advising investors on jurisdictional risks, foreclosure timelines, and strategy. Using the threat of litigation to negotiate favorable outcomes without always going to trial. Judicial vs. Non-Judicial States Judicial foreclosures require lawsuits, trials, and long timelines. Non-judicial foreclosures are statutory, faster, and less litigious. Investors must factor timelines into their portfolio strategies. Market Conditions for Distressed Assets Rising interest rates and tighter bank policies have increased the number of NPLs. Why the next 3–5 years may provide significant opportunity for note investors.    

Corporations are recognized as legal entities and separate from their shareholders, officers and directors. Does that mean that a corporate owner can never be held liable for the company's wrongdoing?  Of course not!  “Piercing the corporate veil,” refers to the exception to this principle, where courts disregard this separateness and hold an owner responsible for the corporation's actions as if it were their own. On this week's podcast, join Rebecca and Steve as they explore the circumstances in which you can ask the court to ignore the corporate entity, and reach the assets of the owners.  The standards are very high, but if there is enough proof, and your facts are egregious, you may be able to get through a corporate fraud and recovery from the owners' assets.

Barry Anderson will, in a discussion moderated by Professor Michael McGinniss, offer his insights about judicial independence and the rule of law, and the role of lawyers in supporting the rule of law. He will discuss how such support can be well demonstrated to clients when litigation does not turn out as they had hoped. He will also address systems of judicial selection and their impacts on the independence and impartiality of the judiciary.Featuring:Hon. Barry Anderson, Associate Justice, Minnesota Supreme Court (ret.)(Moderator) Prof. Michael S. McGinniss, Professor of Law and J.

John is joined by Dennis Hranitzky, partner in Quinn Emanuel's Salt Lake City, New York, and London Offices, Head of the firm's Sovereign Litigation practice, and Co-Head of the firm's Global Asset Recovery Practice. They discuss various kinds of litigation, arbitration, and collection actions against sovereign states. They discuss collection cases against sovereign states resulting from those states' default on debt instruments, the challenges faced by creditors who hold out after most creditors agree to a debt restructuring arrangement with the sovereign, recent proposed legislation, and any other government actions favoring sovereigns, the current sovereign debt crisis, and concerns about opportunistic funds that seek profit by collecting on devalued sovereign debt. They also discuss investor-state arbitration generally, for example, after a company has invested in a project in a country and the country fundamentally changes the terms under which the investment was made, such as radically raising taxes as Spain did with respect to renewable energy projects after 2008. They discuss the position taken by the EU that EU courts cannot enforce arbitration awards against EU nations even when the nation entered voluntarily into an arbitration treaty, and recent indications that the United States government supports the position of the EU. Finally, they discuss litigation against sovereigns unrelated to sovereign debt, such as litigation against state sponsors of terrorism, including the lawsuit Quinn Emanuel recently filed against Iran on behalf of victims of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks. Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. breaks down two critical mistakes attorneys make in opening statements: dilution of their message and their communication frequency. Frequency refers to the attorney's delivery dynamics - energy level, confidence, rhythm, and emotional tone - that either engages jurors or turns them off. Common problems with communication frequency include defensiveness, nervousness, over-talking, and coming across as if trying to sell something to the jury rather than telling them a compelling story. Dilution occurs when attorneys talk too long, over-explain, or defend unnecessarily, which weakens the message and causes jurors to tune out. Bill explains why less is more and that potency comes from repetition, silence, and reframing the narrative right from the start. He urges attorneys to avoid “dead zones” in the middle of openings, stay high-level (“in the clouds, not the weeds”), and let witnesses handle details later. Finally, Bill highlights the value and importance of testing openings with focus groups to gather feedback from mock jurors to help guide and fine-tune delivery, frequency, and clarity before trial.

In this crossover episode of The Consumer Finance Podcast and Regulatory Oversight, Chris Willis is joined by Joseph DeFazio, Bill Foley, and Michael Yaghi to discuss the implications of New York's FAIR Act, a significant amendment to the state's UDAAP statute. The FAIR Act aims to broaden consumer protection by lowering the threshold for legal action against unfair and abusive business practices. With expanded enforcement powers for the state, this legislation could dramatically increase litigation risks for financial services companies operating in New York if the governor signs the bill. Tune in to understand how this legislative shift might affect the industry and what steps businesses can take to prepare. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this second episode of Ogletree Deakins' new podcast series Litigation Lens, Michael Nail (Greenville) is joined by Fiona Ong (Baltimore) and Sarah Zucco (New York) to discuss a recent Second Circuit decision that clarifies employers' obligations to provide reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)—even when an employee can technically perform essential job functions without them. The speakers unpack the facts of a case involving a New York teacher's request for accommodations due to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), explain the court's rejection of a “necessity-only” standard, and offer practical tips for navigating the fact-intensive, multi-jurisdictional landscape of disability accommodation law.

In this episode of the Litigation Psychology Podcast, Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. talks about common missteps in litigation and explains why defense teams must “stop losing before they can start winning.” He argues that many losses stem not from case facts but from preventable mistakes, as the plaintiff's bar continues to be proactive while the defense often remains reactive. Bill highlights three key areas for improvement: early and accurate case assessment via frequent jury research, early witness evaluation to address psychological and emotional issues, and early deposition preparation using neurocognitive remapping and systematic desensitization to ensure witnesses are protected from cognitive autopilot issues and plaintiff attacks. By eliminating these common errors, defense teams can significantly reduce the risk in their cases and position themselves for more consistent wins.

Update on Cape Union Mart litigation - Usuf Chikte by Radio Islam

Litigation, like all other areas of legal practice, continues to undergo substantive environmental and technological change. Here, we unpack how best to ride those waves of change, and correspondingly, better manage evolving client expectations and regulatory scrutiny alike. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Buchanan Rees Dispute Lawyers co-founder and principal Luke Buchanan about his belief in law being at the core of our society and making meaningful contributions, the increased regulatory focus on corporate activity, challenges presented to litigators, evolving client expectations, and lessons he's learnt over his years as a litigator. Buchanan also delves into the nature of settlement agreements and whether they might shift over time, best practice in reaching a settlement agreement, hurdles to overcome, understanding that clients want any dispute to be resolved in totality, adapting to technological change, the increasing cost of litigation, and how his views on what constitutes best practice for litigators have evolved over the years.

Litigation against aggressive liability management exercises in Europe is on the rise as creditors fight back against sponsor's tactics to prime minority creditors.Back in November a group of primed creditors in Dutch lingerie maker Hunkemoller filed a lawsuit in New York against US hedge fund Redwood after it uptiered its portion of the debt.Redwood implemented the same tactic in another uptier transaction with UK carpet maker Victoria PLC's notes, which primed minority holders.More recently, in August a minority creditor in Swiss vending machine provider Selecta filed an appeal against its restructuring in a Dutch court.In this episode of Distressed Diaries, 9fin's senior distressed reporter Bianca Boorer sat down with Duane Loft, partner at Pallas Partners, who is representing the primed holders in Hunkemoller, and 9fin senior distressed credit analyst Denitsa Stoyanova CFA.We discuss the Hunkemoller case, provide updates on the litigation process, and examine potential outcomes if Victoria's transaction faces legal challenges.We also delve into what creditors should consider when deciding whether to litigate, how litigation can help with negotiations, and compare litigation practices in the US versus Europe. And for more background see here our three-part series on the Americanisation of European LMEs.

In Dinner Table Action v. Schneider, pending in the First Circuit, Maine is appealing a permanent injunction barring the enforcement of a ballot initiative passed in 2024 that would have capped contributions for independent expenditures at $5,000. The initiative, formulated and supported by the anti-super PAC group, Equal Citizens, was designed to challenge the case that “created” super PACs, SpeechNow.org v. FEC, a unanimous en banc D.C. Circuit decision, which held that no limits can be placed on contributions for independent expenditures, and has since been reaffirmed by several federal circuit courts. If the First Circuit were to remove the injunction, it would create a circuit split, and open up the possibility of revisiting SpeechNow.org v. FEC.The Dinner Table Action District Court also ruled that mandatory disclosure of donors starting at $0 unconstitutionally burdens Free Speech by not affording any possibility for anonymous speech. As such, this case sits at an interesting intersection between free speech and election law. Join us for a litigation update where we will discuss the developments to date in this case, its potential impacts, and where it may be headed. Featuring: Charles Miller, Senior Attorney, Institute for Free Speech(Moderator) Stephen R. Klein, Partner, Barr & Klein PLLC

In this podcast, Jeff discusses the assassination of Charlie Kirk by yet another deranged leftist shooter.

Jeff discusses what needs to come next if we are to avoid sliding into the abyss as a country.

All fifty states mandate certain vaccinations for schoolchildren. Forty-six of them allow religious exemptions. New York once did as well, maintaining such exemptions for more than half a century before eliminating them in 2019. Medical exemptions remain.Members of the Amish community now challenge New York’s policy, claiming that opposition to vaccines is integral to their “traditional way of life,” as recognized in Wisconsin v. Yoder (1972). The Petitioners include three Amish parents, one representing all Amish and Mennonites in New York, as well as three Amish schools—funded by and serving Amish communities on Amish land. In 2022, the state charged these schools with violating its vaccination law and levied $118,000 in penalties.The Petitioners defended themselves by filing a Section 1983 action in federal court, raising an as-applied challenge under the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The district court dismissed the case, and the Second Circuit affirmed under Employment Division v. Smith’s rational basis framework. The Petitioners are seeking Supreme Court review.Featuring:Robert M. Overing, Deputy Solicitor General, Alabama Office of the Attorney General(Moderator) Hon. Sean D. Jordan, Judge, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas

Welcome to a fascinating exploration of the hidden legal battles shaping tomorrow's technology. Predictive algorithms have become the crystal balls of modern business, forecasting everything from home prices to healthcare costs, but they're also becoming the center of high-stakes courtroom dramas worth hundreds of millions of dollars.Across the globe, from Texas courtrooms to China's Supreme People's Court, judges and juries are answering a profound question: who owns the right to predict the future? The House Canary v. Amrock case resulted in a staggering $600 million verdict over real estate valuation algorithms, while Alibaba secured a 30 million RMB judgment against a company that allegedly scraped its predictive marketing tools. Even industrial applications aren't immune, with companies like Shen Group successfully protecting predictive design software for machinery components.What makes these cases particularly compelling is how they're redefining intellectual property law. Courts are now recognizing that AI model weights, the mathematical parameters tuned during training, qualify as protectable trade secrets. Data pipelines, prediction engines, and algorithmic structures have all received similar protection. The real drama often unfolds when employees change companies, raising thorny questions about what constitutes general expertise versus proprietary knowledge that belongs to the former employer.Healthcare prediction presents especially valuable territory, with ongoing battles between companies like Qruis and Epic Systems, or Milliman and Gradient AI, demonstrating how patient data forecasting creates immensely valuable intellectual property. Whether it's forecasting home values on Zillow or optimizing Medicare billing, these predictive tools aren't just convenient features, they're corporate crown jewels worth protecting at almost any cost.Ready to dive deeper into the invisible rules governing innovation?

Trucking defense attorneys Shane O'Dell and Larry Hall join hosts Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. and Steve Wood, Ph.D. to talk through several topics in trucking and transportation litigation. They begin by discussing the devastating illegal U-turn trucking accident in Florida resulting in multiple fatalities and the political fallout due to immigration issues with the driver. The group talk about how to address this horrible accident in jury selection and how to solicit honest perspectives from jurors about the trucking industry in order to identify biased jurors. Next the group discuss the need for the defense to be less reactive and to become more proactive and how to help clients see the value in starting early. Shane and Larry talk about the benefits of conducting early jury research, even pre-suit, and how finding hidden and unexpected vulnerabilities early is incredibly valuable in figuring out how to handle the claim or case. They also share how jury research is highly useful in protecting the defense team from confirmation biases that may be clouding their perspective on the case. Lastly, the group discuss the complexities in litigation when there are multiple defendants, how the attorneys manage co-defendants, and the best ways to conduct jury research when you have co-defendants.

On this Ropes & Gray podcast, ERISA and benefits partner Sharon Remmer is joined by litigation & enforcement partners, Amy Roy and Dan Ward, to discuss President Trump's recent Executive Order that directs the U.S. Department of Labor and other federal agencies to expand access to alternative assets for 401(k) investors and what the potential ramifications could be for retirement plan sponsors and asset managers from a litigation risk perspective. We have been closely monitoring the significant increase in lawsuits targeting 401(k) and 403(b) retirement plans over the last several years, where plaintiffs have alleged fiduciary defects in the prudence of investment menu design as well as with respect to the monitoring of plan service providers and fees. Using this as a backdrop, our team examines the evolving landscape and how recent case law clarifies key points for plan sponsors to consider should they decide to offer private equity and other alternative assets in their menus. Our speakers discuss practical steps for mitigating risk when offering alternative investments, such as conducting thorough due diligence, providing clear participant disclosures, and maintaining robust documentation of investment decisions.

One year ago, U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta held that “Google is a monopolist and has acted as one to maintain its monopoly”, and, in doing so, violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act. On Tuesday, September 2, 2025, Judge Mehta’s remedy decision rejected the United States’ request for structural relief and indicated only limited conduct and behavioral requirements were appropriate to address any past effect of Google’s conduct and to protect competition going forward. Does either party have substantive grounds to expect an appellate court to reverse Judge Mehta’s liability and remedy decision? Is the remedy decision consistent with the liability decision (and vice-versa)? What are the next steps to implementing the remedy decision? What is the likely impact of Judge Mehta’s liability and remedy decisions on Google, monopolization law, and the Government’s anti-monopoly agenda. Please join our body of expert lawyers for a discussion of these and other related questions.Featuring:Alden F.

Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. and Steve Wood, Ph.D. discuss the most common mistakes attorneys make during litigation touching on jury research, voir dire, direct examination, openings, and closings. Bill and Steve stress that in jury research, confirmation bias is a major pitfall and attorneys often dismiss unfavorable results instead of using them to prepare for trial. They also highlight how waiting too long to conduct research is another mistake, as early testing reveals vulnerabilities before they become entrenched. In voir dire, many attorneys aren't vulnerable with jurors and also don't go deep enough with their questioning. Bill and Steve argue that opening up personally with jurors and going deeper on their responses helps identify problematic jurors and builds credibility. On direct examination, they caution against long, unfocused testimony, irrelevant background questions, and overly broad prompts that cause witnesses to ramble. Openings should avoid lengthy introductions and dense slide decks, instead focusing on clear, simple storytelling that doesn't overload jurors cognitively. Lastly, in closing arguments, they remind defense counsel that the goal is not to change minds but to equip favorable jurors with tools for deliberations.

Workers Compensation is a very state specific thing, and recently, we have heard a lot of excited talk about work comp subrogation in Nevada.  That's because the Nevada Supreme Court changed the long-standing common law rules establishing the system for calculating the amount an insurer could recover on a workers compensation claim in a decision handed down in 2024.  Listen in as Rebecca and Steve walk through the rules as they developed in the common law over 38 years, then suddenly changed in 2024, and the legislature's response in 2025, to answer the question: where do Nevada work comp subrogation claims now?

Insurance. It's something we all pay for and hope we never need. But behind the scenes, it's a world of evolving risks, high-stakes litigation, and technology that's changing faster than the laws that govern it.In this episode of the Emerging Litigation Podcast, I interview Jeremy Moseley, partner at Spencer Fane in Denver, Colorado. Jeremy defends mass and class actions involving insurance regulations, healthcare, consumer products, and more. He's seen firsthand how automation, AI, and climate change are presenting new risks — and he's here to share what's coming next.We talk about how technology that makes claims handling faster and easier is now fueling lawsuits. How customized policies, while great for consumers, can leave dangerous gaps. And how juries today are awarding damages that would've seemed outrageous just a few years ago.Jeremy explains “social inflation” and the rise of thermonuclear verdicts—why $20 million doesn't sound like much anymore, and how insurers can push back with reality-based defense strategies. He also dives into climate change, shifting storm patterns, and how unprepared infrastructure are creating new underwriting challenges.And yes, we talk about Dr. Evil, and Ecclesiastes, and my horse Jefferson from a dude ranch vacation in Colorado.This episode is a warning, a guide, and a conversation about the future of insurance litigation. Jeremy's insights are sharp, timely, and grounded in real-world experience. If you work in insurance, law, or just want to understand how emerging risks are reshaping the world around us, this one's for you.Thanks to Jeremy Moseley for joining us.Tom HagyHost, The Emerging Litigation Podcast
