Litigation Strategies for Responding to Significant Consumer Threats

By Kenneth Odza

I've been invited to speak this Friday at the University of Oregon School of Law's symposium entitled "Cultivating Our Future: New Landscapes in Food and Agricultural Law and Policy" as a part of the "Food for Thought - Strategies for Advocacy" panel.

I'll outline a series of tools food lawyers can and should use to assist their clients in responding to significant consumer claims. I'll explain:

1. How a client can determine whether a claim has merit,

2. What should be done the moment any significant claim is received,

3. The importance of determining a trial strategy at the earliest possible moment, and

4. The three types of consumer claims seen most often and how to respond to each.
