Product Liability: Avoiding the Mistakes That Cost You in Court

Does your company face any greater risk than a product liability lawsuit?

You understand the stakes and how small things can come back to haunt you. After all, you live with this problem every day. You also know what you can do to help protect your company now, before there is a problem.

The NAM and Perkins Coie have been cooperating for 12 years to provide this training program to manufacturing executives. The program is updated every year to keep current with the latest developments in product liability law.

The program is for anyone who makes decision s, drafts instructions or warning, or responds to product problems. You may want to consider recommending the workshop to some of the other employees in your company. After all, what they don’t know can hurt you in the courtroom.

One NAM member company has sent eight employees to these seminars in the past. That will be eight of their thirty-two employees. The NAM is proud to offer this seminar at a price that allows even small companies to educate every critical decision-maker.

The workshop will be held February 24 from 8:00 am to 5:00pm and February 25 from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. NAM member cost is $399 for the first registrant and $375 for each subsequent registrant. To register for this workshop, complete the enclosed registration form and fax it back to the NAM at (202) 637-3442.
