Litigation Management

PUBLISHER’S LETTER

Summer 2011
Vol. 1, Issue 1

WELCOME TO THE INAUGURAL ISSUE OF

LITIGATION MANAGEMENT.

I’ve long had a vision of creating a magazine that brings together the thought leadership of the incredibly talented and dedicated professionals who manage litigation — those working in-house, risk and insurance professionals, outside counsel and the third parties providing valuable services. This magazine does all that and more.

Fitting for this inaugural issue,
our cover story explores how to
define litigation management
in today’s world. A simple “we
manage lawsuits” might seem
like the straight-forward answer,
but all of us in the industry
know it’s much more than that.
In the article and throughout
the magazine, we delve into
topics that explore specific claim types, trends in the industry, the impact of
worldwide events on our industry and take some time to get to know a few of
our colleagues.

I want our magazine to be a place to come for industry insight, for education and for articles that make you think.

When I first developed the idea of creating this magazine, I knew very little about magazine publishing. With a great deal of research, the assistance of some industry experts and more than a little help from my friends and colleagues, my vision is now a reality. Taking on this project is not unlike what many of you in the industry did when you first started down your career path. Let’s face it, not many kids focus on growing up to become involved with the litigation management industry. But those of us who do choose this career path realize what an exciting and dynamic field it is. Never a boring day and always plenty to do.

LitigationManagement is published quarterly and covers news and topics of interest to litigation management professionals and the attorneys with whom they work.

I want our magazine — and I say “our” because this magazine belongs not just to those of us working to put it together, but to all of our readers and advertisers — to be a place you come for industry insight, for education and for articles that make you think. You’ll find that every article is co-authored and developed with input from litigation managers and attorneys. This team effort allows us bring together different perspectives on each topic.
