Description: Defending a lawsuit in a distant state can give rise to a range of challenges: unfamiliar laws, additional litigations costs, and increased business disruption. Personal jurisdiction is the principal determinant of where a business can be sued. This program will help attendees understand the personal jurisdiction principles that determine where a business may be sued. Those principles have evolved in recent years, and continue to evolve, causing some uncertainty for businesses. This program will provide tools for navigating that uncertainty. It will help businesses determine how their business operations may affect their exposure to lawsuits outside their home states.
