How to Run a Class Action Practice
Session Chairs
Shennan Kavanagh and Craig Marchiando
"There is no substitute for NACA's in-person conferences. Networking led me to work with and learn from industry leaders and attending seminars helped me incorporate areas of law I was unfamiliar with before the conferences. This is seriously money well spent."

Why You Should Attend This Workshop
Managing a successful class action practice involves a lot of strategy and expertise. On a tactical level, one needs to overcome many early hurdles such as solvency, waivers, and pickoffs, as well as later challenges with ethical advertising, early case motions and discovery battles. Furthermore, there are interpersonal skills that need to be developed to manage client expectations and relationships with defense counsel. This year’s workshop explores the nuts and bolts of how to run a class action firm.
