Join us for our Next Gen Training Series for March with TDLA Member Eric Lyons of Meridian Law, with an interactive webinar on Thursday March 28th at 1pm EST/ Noon CST on the topic of "Strategies and Tips for Responding to a Complaint".
Responding to a Complaint is about more than just providing a timely Answer. This presentation will discuss the various strategic options that defendants have in responding to a Complaint and when each method can be the most effective. We will discuss: drafting effective Answers; avoiding waiver of affirmative defenses; removal; how and when to use Motions to Dismiss and Motions for Judgment on the Pleadings; and how to avoid having a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings filed against you.
The interactive webinar will begin at Noon CST/ 1pm EST and last for one hour. The course is approved for one hour of Tennessee General CLE. Zoom link will be provided to registrants prior to webinar.
