Lathrop GPM Partner Alex Shtraym recently contributed to Global Legal Insight’s Litigation & Dispute Resolution Laws and Regulations 2026, offering a comprehensive overview of the U.S. civil litigation landscape for businesses and legal professionals navigating disputes.
Shtraym co-authored the USA jurisdiction chapter, which covers the structure of the federal and state court systems, the scope of discovery and how courts are working to manage its cost and complexity, and the lasting role of technology in streamlining proceedings since the COVID-19 pandemic.
It also addresses key considerations for companies involved in U.S. litigation, including attorney-client privilege, work product protections, litigation funding and contingency arrangements, class action exposure and the rise of privacy-related collective claims, and options for alternative dispute resolution.
