Faculty Download Brochure PDF

Sexual assault claims are different than other types of claims. Understanding the nuances is critical, both for managing sexual assault claims in the workplace and advancing and defending a claim in court. Strategies that were successful in other contexts may actually result in major harm to your organizations’ reputation or clients’ case.

Learn from Ms. Gonsalves’ own experience with these differences, including:

• Recognizing how discovery, resolutions, and media relations in the civil sexual assault context differs from other contexts
• How civil sexual assault claims intersect with other areas of the law
• The impact of a criminal conviction or acquittal on a claim of sexual assault
• The expanded use of social science evidence in resolutions
• Choosing expert witnesses for resolutions – factors you need to consider
• Appreciating the implications of The Victim’s Bill of Rights
