NEW YORK<\/span>, Nov. 8, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — National law firm Wilson Elser today announced that a study it commissioned on the impact of COVID-19 on litigation management practices found that 80% of participants indicated organizations have “seen sufficient benefit from virtual activities” in order to continue them post-COVID-19 and are looking to include them in their guidelines going forward.<\/p>\n “Wilson Elser lawyers have had considerable experience with virtual litigation over the past 18 months and have seen firsthand how interviews, meetings, depositions, mediations and even trials can be accomplished virtually in an efficient and productive manner,” says Mathew Ross<\/span>, a partner at Wilson Elser. “The key, of course, is to recognize that one size does not fit all, and that we need to be strategic in making recommendations to our clients on which case types and activities are best suited for virtual litigation.”<\/p>\n Wilson Elser is the Commissioning Sponsor of the Wilson Elser Study, “The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Litigation Management Practices,” which was conducted in August and September 2021<\/span> by Suite 200 Solutions. It surveyed 112 participants working in claims management at insurance carriers in the United States<\/span>.

Are these changes here to stay?”<\/p>\n Wilson Elser will host a one-hour webinar on Wednesday, November 10, 2021<\/span>, at 1:00 p.m. ET<\/span> to discuss the Study findings.
