DescriptionWhen business agreements, ownership structures, and financial arrangements are formed informally, serious disputes arise as soon as economic reality diverges from the formal record. This CLE presents the Napkin Litigation Framework™, a structured, repeatable litigator’s operating method for turning fragmented, poorly documented business, property, ownership, and control disputes into provable cases. Attendees will learn how to navigate the lifecycle of informal deals, perform rigorous client intake beyond subjective claims, and apply four interconnected phases (Asset, Control, Money, and Claim) that include the twelve protocols required to win. The CLE course uses a $15M fictional case study, encouraging participants to learn how to separate distinct rights (ownership vs. economics vs. control vs. exit), evaluate cross-practice strategy, leverage technology and evidence synthesis, and drive claims toward enforceable economic endpoints rather than illiquid paper judgments. Lecturer BioCheryl Berger, Esq.Cheryl Berger, Esq. is a Partner at Lieb at Law, P.C. with more than twenty years of litigation experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in commercial and civil disputes. Her practice includes business disputes, ownership conflicts, fiduciary duty claims, anticompetitive practices, class actions, civil rights litigation, governmental liability, arbitration, appeals, and regulatory matters. Ms. Berger approaches litigation by first developing a complete understanding of the facts, governing agreements, applicable law, procedural posture, and practical objectives of the client. She evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of each position, available claims and defenses, evidentiary issues, damages, insurance considerations, procedural options, enforcement issues, and appellate implications before recommending a course of action. Clients and referring attorneys rely on Ms. Berger because she looks beyond the most obvious legal theory. She identifies issues that may affect the outcome of the litigation, evaluates every viable avenue for advancing the client's position, and develops practical strategies that account for both the legal and business consequences of a dispute. |
