Working Groups are offered in-person only.

This interactive working group will equip you with practical strategies for managing complex settlement negotiations in MDL and class action litigation. Through real-world scenarios and proven faculty insights, we’ll explore:

• Developing tactics for approaching negotiations with plaintiffs’ counsel throughout the MDL process
• Crafting settlement strategies aligned with bellwether outcomes and early case vetting
• Leveraging tech tools and algorithms to identify, filter, and quantify claim validity
• Navigating judicial pressure points including how federal and state judges are shaping settlement frameworks
• Managing timelines, pre-trial motions, and procedural bottlenecks that impact settlement posture
