Welcome to Eversheds Sutherland’s newly launched litigation training podcast

LitCast has been designed to assist legal teams or businesses with limited litigation resource or experience navigate the litigation process. Our aim is to help anyone who is either facing or considering bringing a claim to better understand the key points from the outset.

The first series of podcasts will focus on key considerations at the beginning of a dispute, in what is known as the ‘pre-action’ stage, before a claim is served. There will be four episodes, each discussing a different aspect of the pre-action process.

LitCast is available on our legal insights channel (available on Spotify, iTunes and Google Podcasts).

For further information about the webinar series please contact your usual Eversheds Sutherland contact or Jennifer Miles.  If you would like to sign up to the LitCast series, please contact us on litigationmarketing@eversheds-sutherland.com.
