    Anatomy of a Lawsuit

    In the first episode of The Supplier Side: Legal Insights for the Automotive Supply Chain, Warner automotive attorneys Michael Brady and Laura You pull back the curtain on what litigation actually looks like for automotive suppliers. From the early warning signs of a dispute to emergency court filings, temporary restraining orders and the realities of discovery, Michael and Laura discuss the practical, legal and operational considerations suppliers should understand before a commercial dispute escalates into litigation.
