Product Description

Injunctive relief is a powerful tool available to litigants facing irreparable harm that monetary damages will not remedy. When serious issues are at stake, such as harm to a client’s goodwill or the very ability of a business to continue operating, clients do not have the luxury of waiting years for the discovery process, trial, and appeals to conclude before obtaining relief. Equitable relief through a temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunctive relief allows a court to intervene in the very early stages of legal conflict and maintain the status quo throughout the case. Situations where preliminary injunctive relief is appropriate often arise quickly and require lawyers to navigate a fast-moving litigation that can be procedurally and strategically complex and confusing. Knowing exactly how (and when) to move for injunctive relief and maximize your likelihood of winning such a motion can make or break your case early on.

Join our experts who discuss best practices for seeking injunctive relief including when such relief is appropriate, the legal standards involved, and the practical mechanics of how to go about obtaining an injunction in state and federal court in Massachusetts.
