CM partners Dean S. Rauchwerger and Robert A. Stern have compiled the “Top 100 Ways to Build a Winning Recovery Case.” This punchlist provides many valuable action items for maximizing effective management of subrogation files. Dean and Robert have identified the following key categories:

- Finding the Best-Suited Expert Witnesses and Preparing the Expert Case
- Determining Liability of the Parties, Recovery Theories, and Defenses
