Confidentiality issues in mortgage litigation arise frequently. From the early stages of discovery through final settlements, lenders and servicers routinely ask practitioners and clients to keep secrets. But, do these requests go too far? Does the servicers protective order sweep to broadly? Are you putting yourself and your client at risk when you agree to confidential settlements? Are court records or trial exhibits being sealed from public view? This webinar will cover these questions and more as we look at limiting confidentiality in foreclosure defense litigation.
Presenters: Jennifer Wagner, Mountain State Justice; Leslie Bailey, Sarah Belton, Public Justice
