LITIGATION STRATEGY

“Litigation is a roll of the dice in many respects. Parties do not know what facts will come out in discovery, how a judge will rule, or how a jury will see their case. And, like any gamble, parties are wise to hedge their bets to reduce uncertainty.”

— Hon. Joshua D. Wolson
Midwest Athletics and Sports Alliance LLC v. Ricoh USA, Inc., 2-19-cv-00514 (E.D. Pa. May, 12, 2021).
