National Litigation Risk Management

Maron Marvel understands the high-stakes issues threatening businesses facing mass tort lawsuits filed in multiple and dangerous jurisdictions.

Maron Marvel has developed a Portfolio Management Model that provides a framework for the defense of these claims that has repeatedly been shown to improve outcomes, limit business disruption, and control costs.

Our Model

• Docket-wide defense strategies are set by the client and executed from the top down to ensure decisions in individual cases are consistent with overall company strategy.
• External counsel use is optimized through the creation of a virtual team, with subject matter experts and specialty counsel.
• A secure, customized, web-based claims management tool is shared by our clients and their virtual teams.
• Real-time and customized claims data and risk reports are received by our clients allowing for continuing refinement of litigation-wide strategies.
• Fraud detection and prevention screening processes flag potentially fraudulent claims, suspect medical providers, and testing companies.
