This year’s Summit featured a new and dynamic event format which began with a live hack by Jayson Street, demonstrating the ease with which data breaches can occur. Other issue experts addressed current trends such as trial lawyer advertising, the global spread of class actions, and the growing over-enforcement culture among other litigation trends. Engaging discussions, informative speeches, and the release of four groundbreaking research pieces elevated legal reform issues, highlighted solutions, and outlined developing litigation trends.
