Pending Litigation and the New Administration

Litigation Practice Group Teleforum

Given the size and scope of the federal government, many agency regulations, guidance documents, and cases are left in various stages of development as the executive branch changes hands. The first episode of our Legal Options for the New Administration Teleforum Series will focus on pending litigation in the executive branch. Is the administration free to dismiss or stop prosecuting cases which do not align with its policies? Can the administration stop defending actions in court? What are the constraints? What has been the past practice? These and other questions will be discussed by our experts. 

Featuring:

• Steven G. Bradbury, Partner, Dechert LLP 
• William S. Consovoy, Partner, Consovoy McCarthy Park PLLC
