Excerpt:
High-profile Congressional hearings regularly generate headlines about public figures pleading the Fifth Amendment or facing allegations of lying to investigators. Critics often dismiss these high-stakes inquiries as “perjury traps“—proceedings engineered not to discover facts, but to ensnare a witness in inconsistent statements.

While these political spectacles dominate the news, the underlying dynamic is a very real danger in commercial litigation, white-collar defense, and regulatory proceedings. For high-net-worth individuals, executives, and corporate entities, understanding how opposing counsel sets these traps—and how a seasoned trial team neutralizes them—is essential to protecting reputation and enterprise value.

Excerpt:
“Without clarity on whether and when the Federal Rules of Evidence will change to address these problems, litigants and their counsel will have to be proactive. Success requires ensuring you can both demonstrate the authenticity of your own evidence and successfully challenge unreliable evidence based on machine learning as well as pure deepfakes. It requires both an outstanding command of the evidentiary record and technical savvy to ensure that the credible and only credible evidence gets in front of the jury.”

The Line Between Zealous Advocacy and Litigating in Bad Faith: Lessons from Guardant v. Natera

Excerpt:
"In high-stakes corporate litigation, representation is expected to be fierce, relentless, and uncompromising … when a bet the company lawsuit follows, the pressure to win can create a dangerous temptation to let aggressive advocacy cross the line into unethical behavior ... The misconduct centered on a critical piece of evidence. During the litigation, Natera’s counsel introduced a late-filed supplemental expert report containing embargoed clinical study results, but failed to disclose when the expert obtained the data and any documents pertaining to the study.”

Avoiding the “Paper Tiger” Trap: When Routine Litigation Becomes a Bet-the-Company Trial

EXCERPT:
In the early stages of a commercial dispute, it is easy to view the matter as a “process” … There are pleadings to prepare and file, discovery schedules to set, and a seemingly endless cycle of status conferences. Many law firms are perfectly suited for this phase—they are excellent at moving paper, managing document reviewers, and billing for the filing of endless motions related to any number of substantive and “process” issues.

Sometimes, what begins as an ordinary case can pivot. A case can suddenly transform into high-stakes litigation that leaves a defendant fighting for its financial survival. At this juncture, many businesses realize too late that they have hired a “paper tiger”—a firm that is formidable on letterhead but lacks the instinct, the experience, and the stomach for the courtroom. Making the right choice about counsel at this stage is often the difference between a controlled resolution and a catastrophic loss.
