As we reach the end of 2024, the #Crisis and #Litigation team at FTI Consulting Strategic Communications has put together a series of 12 insights for business leaders to take into the new year. Today's fifth instalment falls upon me to deliver the news that 2025 will be the mid-way point in what FTI previously identified as the "decade disputes", foreseeing a rise of litigation and its disruptive impact on businesses. Research undertaken this year indicates that the reputational aspects to a claim are considered at Boardroom level as among the most important to get right - often prioritised ahead of other business or legal considerations. The reputational crises that can spill out of such cases are typically the ones organisations feel least prepared for - when evidence is aired in public, reputationally unattractive legal arguments advanced in the court or in the scenario of an adverse judgement. More details can be found enclosed. As we start ticking off our professional new year's resolutions, let's make 2025 a year when these reputational risks are mitigated.

Sharing an article my colleagues Patrick Ryan, Lex Suvanto, and Josh Hochberg wrote for the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance. The piece outlines considerations for boards of directors facing activist demands to announce a strategic review. With M&A making a comeback, more public company directors are likely to find themselves in this situation. https://lnkd.in/gEvNAdeV

Lexology Index (formerly Who’s Who Legal) has named Sathya Gosselin, partner in Washington, D.C., to its prestigious list of “recommended” lawyers in the sports and gaming sector for 2024. The report identifies extraordinary and accomplished lawyers who advise clients active in sports, gaming, leisure, and gambling, in addition to providing commercial and regulatory advice. Fewer than 100 U.S. lawyers received this recognition in 2024. Sathya is an acclaimed high-stakes litigator with nearly two decades of experience in antitrust, commercial, and sports and entertainment litigation. Among his notable representations, Sathya represents residential- and commercial-subscriber plaintiffs in the historic In re National Football League’s Sunday Ticket Antitrust Litigation where, at the conclusion of a four-week trial, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs and awarded $4.7 billion in damages (subject to a subsequent ruling on a motion for judgment as a matter of law and now on appeal), as well as having scored a historic victory at trial and on appeal for college athletes in the landmark O’Bannon v. NCAA antitrust litigation, which resulted in permanent injunctive relief and billions of dollars in benefits (in perpetuity) for college athletes.
