Patrick Salvi II

While the endgame of a lawsuit is always a successful recovery for the client, the degree to which that success can be achieved is multifactorial. Understanding the dynamics of how to strategically apply pressure at multiple levels directed toward defendants and their insurers is critical in maximizing recovery.

Lance Northcutt, a trial lawyer and partner at Salvi Schostok and Pritchard in Chicago, leads the firm’s specialty litigation practice that focuses on collateral litigation related to insurance coverage, bad faith actions, and post-judgment proceedings. In this presentation, Mr. Northcutt will provide an overview of the interplay between commercial practice and tort law, outlining some practical steps plaintiffs’ attorneys can take to seize upon opportunities to recover above policy limits before and after trial.
