Spectacular San Francisco is the setting for programs that will connect you to top experts in an array of topics affecting your work, as well as to your fellow colleagues in the professional liability field. Our Fall Conference sessions include:  

• An opening plenary that explores ways a “busted” deal can ensnare attorneys through third-party claims, and the best strategies for defending these cases.
• An expert analysis of jury selection and composition, as well as insights from actual jurors themselves.
• An exploration of the critical elements that must be pulled together in the last sixty days before trial to  ensure a successful legal malpractice defense.
• A thoughtful look at legal malpractice mediations and all of the stages in the mediation process, along with insights and tips from an expert panel.
• An in-depth look at the emergence of cloud-based computing and its implications for professional liability claims.    
• A discussion of top tips, tools, and trends for litigators from a panel of seasoned practitioners.
• An examination of the latest case law developments in the professional liability field.

This conference would not be possible without the continuing support of our sponsors who allow us to present these programs at such an affordable cost to you. And our best resource, of course, is you, our greatly appreciated conference participant. We thank you for your commitment to our programming, and we invite you to let us or any Committee member know what we can do to enhance your conference experience.
