An increasing number of complex and high stakes employment disputes and litigation use statistical analysis when pattern and practice alleged.

Counsel who understand how statistics and economics are used have the ability to more effectively direct litigation and trial strategy, cross-examine the opposing side's witnesses, and work productively with clients and expert witnesses.

Human resource professionals and corporate attorneys who understand how to review and interpret statistical analyses can use them preventatively to reduce employee dissatisfaction and the potential for litigation.

After attending our seminar, you should be able to:

• Identify when an economic/statistical expert should be retained, and know how to respond to opposing experts.


• Work effectively with economic/statistical experts in settlement negotiations and litigation.


• Minimize or avoid potential litigation by knowing how to identify problem areas.


• Recognize the concepts underlying statistics and how statistical techniques are applied in employment discrimination cases.


• Detect an inappropriately modeled employment analysis or inappropriately applied statistical analysis.
