Kent Schmidt

Kent Schmidt writes and speaks on US litigation management. Drawing on his 26 years practicing law at the international law firm of Dorsey & Whitney LLP, he addresses business litigation risks from a preventive objective. He explores how to avoid lawsuits ranging from claims of unfair business practices, trade secret misappropriation, consumer deception class actions, product liability, securities litigation and enforcement, commercial disputes, and environmental claims. His primary goal is to advise companies in reducing the risk of litigation claims, develop compliance policies and strategies and checklists and manage litigation when it is brought. Kent collaborates both with the partners in his firm and talented lawyers all over the world to strategize, write and speak on these topics.
