Legal Talk: Anatomy of Business Litigation [Podcast]

This Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal Thought Leadership Podcast, sponsored by Stoel Rives LLP, was originally published by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal on October 10, 2022.

Civil lawsuits arise out of disputes between people, businesses, or other entities and generally proceed through distinct steps: pleadings, discovery, trial and possibly an appeal. However, parties can halt this process by voluntarily settling at any time, and most cases settle before reaching trial.

In this podcast, Andy Pieper, litigator at Stoel Rives, outlines what a business facing possible litigation can expect.

Listen to the podcast to learn about:

• First steps for a company that has been sued.
• First steps in litigation.
• The fact and expert discovery process.
• Avoiding a trial: summary judgment or mediation.
• The case goes to trial: what to expect.
