Subsequent Litigation Sample Clauses
The Subsequent Litigation clause defines how legal actions or disputes that arise after the execution of an agreement are to be handled. Typically, this clause outlines the procedures for addressing new lawsuits or claims related to the subject matter of the contract, such as requiring notification to the other party or specifying which party is responsible for defending or settling such claims. Its core practical function is to allocate responsibility and establish a clear process for managing future legal disputes, thereby reducing uncertainty and potential conflict between the parties.

If the parties agree, either of their Collaborative attorneys may be required to testify to confidential information in subsequent litigation. Collaborative Communications Privilege. Collaborative Communication shall be defined as an oral, written, or recorded statement that is made to conduct, participate in, continue, or reconvene a Collaborative Process after the Collaborative Participation Agreement is signed and before the Collaborative Process is concluded. Recorded statement is defined as information which is inscribed on a tangible medium or that is stored in an electronic or other medium and is retrievable in perceivable form. Collaborative Communications cannot be introduced in evidence or compelled to be produced as part of the court discovery process, absent consent of the parties and, in the case of a Collaborative Communication by a non-attorney team member or joint expert, the consent of such Team member or expert.
