IMS Consulting & Expert Services is a Go-To Thought Leader for 2021 for its coverage of Jury Trial Prep. Trials changed greatly during the pandemic - with courts adopting virtual technologies to keep trials moving despite the challenges posed by COVID-19. NLR readers turned to IMS Consulting & Expert Services for insights into how the legal industry adapted during the pandemic, including jurors’ willingness to serve during COVID-19, and whether virtual trials are here to stay after the pandemic is over. 

The National Law Review selected IMS Consulting & Expert Services' Teresa Barber, as a 2021 Go-To Thought Leader for her coverage of mentorship in the legal profession.   Ms. Barber did two interviews for the 'IMS’ podcast “IMS Insights" addressing mentorship, one with a Troutman Pepper partner who provided tips for new attorneys on how to identify mentors in the “new normal” remote workplace and also interviewed a Littler Mendelson partner about how law firms are recognizing the importance of mentorship in recruiting and retaining talent. 

 

 

The National Law Review recognizes IMS Consulting & Expert Services for their extensive analysis and research into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on insurance coverage and on the insurance industry as a whole.  The IMS team and various industry experts through videos, podcasts and thought leadership addressed topics ranging from: jurors' views on insurance policy interpretation during the pandemic; civil authority and reinsurance, what’s considered an occurrence in the context of COVID-19;  to how other catastrophic events interplay with Coronavirus in the insurance industry. The breadth of COVID-19 issues addressed along with the regularity of IMS Consulting & Expert Services’ contributions provide NLR readers with unparalleled analysis of the pandemic’s impact on the insurance industry.

Teresa Barber is a 2019 National Law Review Go-To Thought Leader for her work on the IMS Consulting & Expert Services podcast, an innovative platform spotlighting the experts in the IMS Consulting & Expert Services Network that provides a thought-provoking analysis of developing trends in litigation and expert witness delivery and consultation.

IMS Consulting & Expert Services has been selected for a 2018 NLR Go-To Thought Leadership Award for their analysis of high-impact patent litigation. The authors at IMS Consulting & Expert Services provide details of these decisions, explaining their place in the larger context of protecting the intellectual property portfolios of various organizations.
