Betting the Company covers issues of significance for high-stakes business disputes, broadly focusing on intellectual property, antitrust, corporate, securities, litigation funding, and other complex matters.   I hope the blog becomes a resource for entrepreneurial GCs and litigators interested in effective litigation strategy and staying apprised of important legal developments.
