Lien resolution remains the tail wagging the dog in many personal injury cases. Keeping up with shifting strategies and changes in the law is an endless battle. This Seminar will both provide a review of recent changes as well as provide specific strategies to maximize reductions, while assuring closed files remain that way. We will address statutory liens such as CMS and Med-iCal as well as contract-based liens/reimbursement claims under both State and Federal law. Attendees will have access to a data hold that includes model documents such as pleadings, correspondence, Settlement Agreement, etc.

Electronically stored information (ESI) in litigation has changed significantly in recent years. Once almost exclusively digitized paper records and email archives, the varieties of ESI have multiplied exponentially. Similarly, the locations where ESI are stored are more numerous than ever, including mobile, cloud, and IoT. The result is a complex effort to find and collect relevant data in whatever location or format it is stored. This presentation covers these technical topics from the perspective of the legal practitioner, highlighting the key factors an attorney should consider to ensure that all relevant data has been identified and preserved.
