Mock Litigation Exercise: “In the Trenches” Approach to Battling Reptile Theory

Philadelphia partner Ken Murphy will join a panel at the 24th Annual ACI Conference on Drug and Medical Device Litigation to be held on December 10−11, 2019 in New York City. The Mock Litigation Exercise: “In the Trenches’ Approach to Battling Reptile Theory,” will present ways to develop effective strategies for combatting the “fear-based” approach of reptile strategy from the earliest phases of litigation.

Ken and fellow panelists, including Jobina Jones-McDonnell, Senior Counsel, Litigation and Risk at Endo Pharmaceuticals, and Bobby Woo, Partner at King & Spalding LLP, will engage in a mock corporate deposition and demonstrate first-hand tactics for diffusing plaintiffs’ counsel attempts to use the reptile approach before it gains traction; responding to plaintiffs’ counsel questions aimed at rattling even the most seasoned corporate witnesses; asking questions on redirect that combat the reptile approach; and creating your own evidence to be used in negotiations for deposition designations.
