Title:
California Employment Law Update: Sex and Gender Protections in California Workplaces

Description:
It is no secret that California employment laws tend to be more protective of employees than federal employment laws. In the past year, California employers have found themselves caught between federal and California requirements that are increasingly at odds. Federal enforcement guidance and shifting priorities have come into conflict with many of California's legal protections, particularly in the treatment of sex and gender in the workplace. From expanded regulations on sexual harassment to the treatment of gender as non-binary, California continues to strengthen legal protections that differ from federal enforcement priorities. This webinar will explore these competing compliance obligations and discuss how to navigate them.

May 28: The Next Wave: Navigating Emerging Mass Torts and the Data Behind the Docket

2026-04-28T08:58:00.000-07:00

Description:
Mass tort litigation rarely moves in a straight line. New products, developing scientific theories, and access to sophisticated data can quickly turn a small number of claims into nationwide dockets.

The Next Wave: Navigating Emerging Mass Torts and the Data Behind the Docket focuses on how early mass tort activity is taking shape. We’ll look at already developing tort dockets, including GLP-1 drugs, PFAS, hair relaxers, Roundup, and Depo-Provera claims.

More specifically, we’ll look at where cases are landing, how those dockets are building, and shifts in plaintiff-side tactics.

Large datasets can get messy fast! Multi-jurisdictional filings, overlapping parties, different insureds tied to the same matter… It’s not always clean, and when we add in diverse claimant populations, multiple carriers, and multi-year timelines, it gets harder to track consistently.

Our data expert will tackle data issues from a nuts-and-bolts standpoint.

The Next Wave: Navigating Emerging Mass Torts and the Data Behind the Docket is intended for attorneys, claims professionals, and insurance teams dealing with complex litigation. Our panelists will focus on how docket activity is actually being used in practice and where it can lead to faulty assumptions when evaluating litigation strategy, coverage considerations, and overall exposure.

Using Expert Consultants in Pursuing Subrogation Cases

Thursday, August 27, 2026
10 AM PT / 11 AM MT / 12 PM CT / 1 PM ET
Register Now!

Managing complex construction projects and costs through process-driven discipline by eliminating waste and maximizing value is not limited to the construction site; it is directly applicable to the high-stakes world of subrogation. The very systems used to ensure construction projects are successful are the same systems that can transform expert witness engagement from an unpredictable cost into a managed, value-creating investment.

Our framework for managing expert consultants begins by defining the value drain in typical subrogation files and the Seven Wastes that erode recoveries. From there, we introduce a paradigm shift, applying proven principles from Lean, Scrum, and MVP to create a proactive, ROI-focused system. Finally, we detail the operational steps for executing this system, from initial hiring to final reporting, ensuring every action is purposeful and every dollar is accounted for.

Traditional, ad hoc management of experts often directly undermines the goal of subrogation attorneys and claims professionals to maximize net recoveries of subrogation efforts. This program is a practical, actionable playbook to control costs, mitigate risks, and achieve demonstrably better financial outcomes on their cases.

Program Outline

Introduction
The Subrogation Value Drain: Identifying and Defining Waste
The Foundational Shift: Viewing Subrogation as a Value Stream
The System, Part I: Architecting Success Before Engagement
The System, Part II: A Phased, ROI-Driven Framework for Execution
Bringing It All Together: Inspecting What You Expect
Conclusion

Learning Objectives

Identify the common sources of value drain and the Seven Wastes in expert witness engagements.
Apply Lean, Scrum, and MVP principles to reframe expert engagement as a managed investment.
Implement a phased, ROI-driven framework for managing expert consultants.
Utilize structured tools and quality standards to ensure accountability and high-quality work product.

This program is applying for continuing education credit for both attorneys and insurance professionals in Florida, Nevada, California and Texas.
