Summary judgment is where many employment cases are resolved and where a strong record can mean the difference between dismissal and costly litigation. This session looks at how the decisions employers make during real-time issues — managing performance, documenting concerns, responding to complaints — can shape the legal strategy months down the line. We’ll talk about how courts evaluate records, what makes a case suitable for early dismissal, and how working closely with counsel from the outset can drive better, more efficient outcomes when litigation hits.

Who Should Attend:

• In-house counsel
• HR and risk professionals involved in employment litigation
• Employers and legal teams responsible for managing workplace disputes
• Defense attorneys or panel counsel focused on early case resolution

You Will Learn:

• How well-documented performance issues and internal communications can become the foundation of a successful dismissal before trial
• Why consistency in your decision-making process — and how it’s recorded — can mean the difference between summary judgment and costly litigation
• How collaboration between HR, management, and counsel ensures you have the right evidence to defeat unsupported claims and avoid unnecessary settlement
