We will take a closer look at the journey of four of the nation’s top women class-action lawyers and how they unlocked the door to leadership roles in this Webinar featuring Ariana J. Tadler of Tadler Law, LLP (NY), Sheila Birnbaum of Dechert LLP (NY), Michelle Drake of Berger & Montague (Minneapolis, MN) and Amy Keller of Dicello Levitt Gutzler (Chicago, IL). With these four women, who have repeatedly been appointed to lead some of the largest and most newsworthy class actions, and moderator Steven R. Jaffe of Upchurch Watson White & Max Center for National Mass & Class Actions, we will look toward the future, including emerging areas of class litigation, where to find leadership positions, and the next door women may seek to unlock.

In addition to the insight the panelists will provide, attendees also will gain complimentary CLE credit through the state bar associations of Florida, Georgia, Illinois and New York (still pending in Alabama, California and New Jersey).
