Pros and Cons of Joint Defense Groups

Instructor: Bradley C. Nahrstadt

When multiple parties are sued in the same action, and those parties can work together as part of a common defense, it may be advantageous to form a joint defense group. This one-hour program addresses some of the common — and not so common — issues surrounding joint defense groups, including the pros and cons of creating joint defense groups and issues to be covered in a joint defense agreement. Other topics addressed by this program include conflicts of interest, ethical concerns associated with participation in a joint defense group, and maintaining the joint defense privilege.
