Finding the Right Legal Theory

Opposing counsel was demanding excessive damages on a wrongful termination case. As in-house counsel David Cossi was charged with file assessment to identify options for resolution. He assessed the file, conducted research, and identified a legal theory that would result in dismissal. David brought outside counsel up to speed, and then communicated with opposing counsel. The case was settled for less than 10% of original demand and less than legal fees for obtaining a dismissal.
