How to Avoid a Lawsuit: Tips and Tricks to Reduce the Risk of Being Sued

While it’s impossible to eliminate the risk of a lawsuit, it is possible to make the odds of being sued less likely. This presentation looks at the most frequently encountered types of lawsuits encountered by authors and publishers in five areas of law – copyright, trademark, right of privacy and publicity, defamation, and contracts – and what you can do to minimize the risk of encountering any of them personally.
