For carriers, the ROI of litigation has always been difficult to define. Unlike claim settlement figures or defense costs, the return on trial is rarely apparent in hard numbers — yet it can significantly shape claim outcomes, set precedents, and influence overall strategy. If a clear and unified litigation philosophy is not apparent, the effect may be inconsistent results, unnecessary costs, and confusion for defense counsel who need clear direction.  This session will tackle these challenges head-on. We will examine how to move beyond statistics and adopt a broader strategic framework for litigation management to ensure that litigation serves not just as a cost center, but as a tool for shaping outcomes and protecting long-term interests.
