Bassford Remele Consumer Law Defense Practice Group Co-Chair Patrick Newman is presenting "State Court vs. Federal Court: Where Do You Want To Be?" for AccountsRecovery.net on August 3, 2022.

• Federal courts across the country have been addressing the issue of standing — whether an individual has been harmed sufficiently enough to sue or not — for more than 18 months. One of the byproducts of those rulings is that more lawsuits against companies in the accounts receivable management industry are being filed in state courts across the country. Is that a good thing? Like any good lawyer will tell you, it depends. In this webinar, an experienced panel of legal professionals will share their insights and perspectives into defending cases in state court vs. defending them in federal court and the different circumstances you may want to consider in each case.
