A Civil Litigation Webinar

The Powerful Consent Requirement in NY and Third-Party Settlement Consent Best Practices

This video is from a live webinar that took place on: Monday, June 17, 2024 at 3:00 pm EST

Section 29(5) has an explicit written consent requirement. In this LIVE webinar, Greg Lois will go over how to weaponize this powerful leverage in the context of your case. A good consent letter can drastically reduce your total exposure, but a bad consent letter can sink a case!

Course Outline

Using Matter of Stenson and Williams v. Lloyd Gunther Elevator Service to make an air-tight consent.
