On Wednesday, October 16th, Jeff Soos will participate in a discussion entitled “Affirmative Defenses Under Twombly and Iqbal: Complying With Higher Pleading Standards in Recent Cases,” a 90-minute Strafford CLE webinar with an interactive Q&A. Jeff will be joined by Julie D. Hoffmeister of Troutman Sanders. As part of the discussion, Jeff will review: background principles of affirmative defenses; waiving an affirmative defense through non-assertion; and dismissing an affirmative defense for failure to meet pleading standards.
