As California juries continue to award increasingly sizable verdicts, litigants are filing with increased frequency, encouraged by counsel that insist upon aggressive (and often unrealistic) valuations. While not every case runs the risk of a runaway verdict, corporate defendants need to consider possible outcomes in evaluating which cases are worth the fight – and which are not.
In this presentation, we will discuss strategies for accurate case evaluation, determining how best to obtain favorable results at all stages of litigation.
Join us for an update on the recent executive orders signed by President Trump that significantly impact DEI programs, private employers and federal contractors. What’s new? What’s enjoined? And what should employers be doing in this rapidly evolving landscape to ensure legal compliance and avoid potential litigation?
This program will provide a refresher on civil rights laws, the definition of "illegal DEI," and the importance of compliance with anti-discrimination statutes.
Stay ahead of the evolving landscape of consumer litigation in California.

Whether you represent businesses, defend class actions, or advise on compliance, this program delivers the essential knowledge you need to navigate California’s complex legal environment.
The panel will discuss impacts from the first 100 days of the new administration, including executive orders and mandates on diversity, equity, and inclusion, federal spending, and other emerging issues. The panel will explore how contractors can ensure compliance with the rapidly changing legal landscape and mitigate False Claims Act risk.
