Despite court closure orders and other restrictions entered
across the country, commercial litigation continues to be filed,
with many courts docketing new cases in 2020 on pace with 2019. For

lawsuit is sometimes the right move, and businesses should consider
consulting with counsel to understand the steps that can be taken
to prepare and the dynamics business litigants are likely to
face.
