Joseph G. Fortner, Jr. is the Chair for the ALFA International Business Litigation Practice Group’s 2017 Seminar, “Successfully Trekking Along the Precipice: Protecting Your Company Before, During, and After ‘Bet the Company’ Litigation.” This program, which will be held in Chicago in September 2017, will offer insight about what to do when a business is faced with strategic risks and threats, during normal operations and when litigation becomes part of the company’s life. As Chair, Mr. Fortner has brought together a panel of 20 speakers from all over the country and even overseas, and developed a program that will include a mock jury presentation of a trade secrets case.
