Process

Keystone educational symposium

Keystone workshops follow a process to ensure stakeholders are aligned and educated before going into complex litigation. These educational symposiums are facilitated by Keystone leaders and the course curriculum is developed specifically for the upcoming case or issue. Keystone brings in academic and industry experts who complement and extend Keystone's own expertise to ensure a deeper understanding of technical, scientific, economic, and strategic topics.
