"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
On May 2 and 3, we will be offering a two-day pre-conference workshop for attorneys who want to go in-depth about class actions practice.
The class action landscape is changing dramatically. Proving standing and dealing with ubiquitous arbitration clauses remain major hurdles in bringing justice for consumers. There are lots of opportunities to bring federal claims in state courts, filing mass arbitrations, and focusing on cases where arbitration is not an issue. Learn how to navigate the fault lines of a class action practice during this workshop.
What You Will Learn
- How to overcome arbitration and standing challenges
- How to become a stronger class action litigator
- How to take advantage of growth areas for class actions
ONLINE REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. NACA MEMBERS CAN REGISTER ONSITE.
