Being a good litigator sometimes involves seeing around the corner to spot potential threats to your clients before the complaints start hitting the docket.

I was reminded of that when I sat down with a column posted a year ago today by my predecessor at the Litigation Daily, Jenna Greene. Just as we were all just beginning to adjust to our new COVID-driven reality this time last year, a quartet of big law litigators—Gwyn Williams of Latham & Watkins, Gregg Weiner of Ropes & Gray, Robert Dell Angelo of Munger, Tolles & Olson, and Gayle Klein, then with McKool Smith and now at Schulte Roth & Zabel—shared their predictions on how the litigation landscape would be shaped by the pandemic.
