The conversations happening here are so different from ones you would get at generic events, these conversations you’re not going to get anywhere else.

It’s important for plaintiff attorneys to come together like this because you get to hear tips and trades from other people that are doing plaintiff attorney work, and you always learn something new, somebody has an idea or a way of doing something that adds to your practice.

It is amazing how many different levels we gain from being exposed to this kind of experience, it’s everything from the substantive course of the programs, what we learn from the co-panelists and other speakers, but it’s all of the intangibles that take place before and after those presentations, opportunities to connect with all kinds but also to make new connections that are not going to happen in any other format.
Partner

The fact that the National Plaintiff Summit is specifically about sexual harassment and retaliation cases means you really have a level of expertise here, and a level of understanding of how these cases work, that makes this conference distinct from other conferences.

A lot of plaintiff attorneys would benefit from coming to this conference, in part because it’s at a very high level. We’re not starting with the basics or Employment Law 101; it’s really focused on particular topics, which allows us all to be experts, provide those little critical details and takeaways, and not to mention the great friendships and camaraderie. I find that to be really helpful—to have those side conversations, learn about each other, and hear what they are doing in their firms.
Managing Partner

Really enjoyed this conference! High-quality speakers and content. I especially liked that it went beyond the basics and into the nuances for more experienced litigators. The sessions on tax issues, settlement negotiation strategies, and trauma-informed intake were particularly great. I also appreciated that the sessions were only about 1 hour, the start time was not too early, there were plenty of breaks with snacks, the lunch break did not have a speaker so we could network, and the evening networking event was also very lovely. Fun location as well.
