At this breakfast session, targeted to the young practitioners, a panel composed of both junior lawyers and legendary veterans will give a variety of perspectives on tightened pleading standards, restricted admissibility of expert opinions, increased roadblocks to class certification, and the proliferation of mandatory arbitration with class action bans. Panelists will also discuss how problems like those facing our practices have been overcome in the past, and offer reasons to expect that private antitrust enforcement may well have a vibrant future. The panel will consider practical solutions, and how young lawyers in particular can take part.

All conference attendees are welcome to attend but they must RSVP for this special event in advance via the registration form available here.
