In-house counsel from some of the world’s iconic household food names tuned in to a webinar, ‘Food Fight – What’s Cooking in the Food Industry’ run by MI’s Litigation and Hospitality Practice Groups. The one hour webinar attracted 77 delegates, including 21 in-house lawyers, from 51 cities, 23 states and 4 countries.
Keller & Heckman partners Robert S Niemann in San Francisco and Arthur Garrett III in Washington DC spoke on Current Trends in Food Class Actions and Food Recall (Product Contamination) Insurance respectively. Maryalyce Cox of MehaffyWeber in Texas addressed Preventing Food Related Litigation Claims.
Moderator Paul Heyburn of MehaffyWeber said; “Litigation in the food industry is a high profile affair and can bring down a brand in a matter of days. Our event looked at how to avoid, manage and insure for them. In addition to the outstanding quality of the speakers, there was some valuable shared learning and debate between participants.”
Clive Mieville, MI managing director, said; “The webinar is a superb example of MI firms joining together to meet the needs of multinationals.”
