The Primerus Defense Institute (PDI) is a collaborative endeavor engaging Primerus defense attorneys and corporate defense representatives for the purpose of lowering business litigation costs and reducing exposure to liability.

Participating corporate clients are leaders in their respective industries. Participating defense lawyers meet the high standards of excellence required of membership in the International Society of Primerus Law Firms.

The PDI provides continuing legal education in the areas of liability avoidance and litigation management. Corporate defense counsel and their clients participate in an annual Convocation to explore, discuss and share best practices in reducing risk, handling claims, and defending lawsuits.

The Primerus Defense Institute is a valuable resource for corporations seeking outside counsel in distant jurisdictions. That’s because the PDI alliance is a coast-to-coast network of over 600 of America's finest independent defense lawyers with expertise in nearly every aspect of corporate defense litigation. The Primerus Defense Institute makes it easy to find highly skilled, seasoned litigation counsel across the country. Search our online database or call us at 1-800-968-2211.
