Business Litigation
The Business Litigation Committee consists of members involved in business and commercial litigation including business torts, contract and other commercial disputes, e-commerce, antitrust and other distribution issues, trade secrets and intellectual property, unfair competition, and business defamation and disparagement The Committee helps connect members involved in these areas around the world through networking and referral opportunities, developing and keeping current in the substantive, strategic and procedural aspects of business litigation, and affording members an international forum for sharing current developments and strategies with colleagues. Among the Committee's planned activities are newsletters, publications, sponsorship of additional programs at conferences, and the execution of membership initiatives.
If you would like to join an IADC Substantive Law Committee, please e-mail Carmela Balice at cbalice@iadclaw.org.
