Entrenched patterns of behavior, poor communication, skills gaps, weak accountability, and inadequate tracking systems are just a few of the culture killers that stand in the way of stronger law firm performance.In this program, Hall of Fame consultant and two-time best-selling author David Freeman, J.D., will provide a practical framework for driving a firm-wide culture shift within law firms that translates into increased revenue, stronger client relationships, and more consistent business development activity.

Coverage may be available under specialty product recall and contamination policies, commercial general liability policies, property policies, and related insurance products, but determining which coverage applies—and when—can be challenging. This One-Hour Briefing will examine the insurance, claims-handling, and litigation issues that arise from food contamination, consumer product recalls, and related regulatory actions. Faculty will discuss common coverage pathways, recurring exclusions, practical claims considerations, and emerging trends affecting recall-related losses.  Practising Law Institute 1177 Avenue of the Americas New York NY 10036 USA (800)260-4PLI info@pli.edu 477496 477496 83 G5904 2026-10-15T20:00:00Z 1:00:20 New York NY USA https://www.pli.edu/programs/crypto-asset-disputes-the-growing-role-of-u.s.-and-international-arbitration/476828?tCode=WTC5_RSS01 Banking and finance International arbitration Securities and other financial products Cryptocurrencies Digital assets As crypto markets mature and cross-border disputes become more common, parties in digital asset disputes are increasingly turning to arbitration as the preferred means of adjudication. This CLE explores the advantages and challenges of resolving crypto asset disputes through arbitration.   Practising Law Institute 1177 Avenue of the Americas New York NY 10036 USA (800)260-4PLI info@pli.edu 476828 476828 83 G5897 2026-10-16T20:00:00Z 1:00:20 New York NY USA https://www.pli.edu/programs/hot-topics-in-ai-ethical-issues-in-use-of-ai-in-discovery/466829?tCode=WTC5_RSS01 Ethical issues (Ethics and professional responsibility) Discovery Professional development Technology Artificial intelligence Ethical rules require attorneys to be technologically competent and to be aware of the benefits and risks associated with relevant technologies. The widespread use of AI for drafting pleadings, however, has led to over 1300 reported cases of documents containing citations to non-existent cases being filed with courts. In a recently reported case, an attorney used AI to generate discovery objections which he then cut and pasted into a communication that he sent to opposing counsel and the court. Earlier this year, a federal court entered a protective order with a detailed protocol for the use of AI and LLMs in discovery in the case. These developments signal that lawyers, law firms, and law departments need to have appropriate policies, procedures, and governance in place to avoid ethical violations in discovery and compliance with AI-focused protective orders.

As funding for legal aid shrinks and the need for services grows, nonprofit legal providers risk falling behind the rest of the profession in adopting the tools now reshaping legal practice. Responsible use of AI can support legal services organizations facing both increasing demand and funding constraints, particularly when developed and deployed in partnership with law firms.This session gives public interest attorneys a foundation for thinking through AI adoption and pro bono program management, equips nonprofits to approach law firm and other pro bono partners with confidence, and encourages law firms and corporations to direct their AI resources toward expanding access to justice. At a moment when the need has never been greater, this panel offers a roadmap for meeting it.

But some Pro Bono clients present ethical issues for attorneys that often differ from those presented by fee-paying or contingent fee clients. Lawyers sometimes face difficult questions about defining who the client is, communication with clients, clients with diminished capacity, conflicts with fee-paying clients, and many others. Representation of nonprofit organizations also can present difficult ethical issues not faced with most for profit organizations.

Stronger expectations for broad-based M&A activity, improving public buyer valuations and a more constructive regulatory backdrop have prompted buyers to pursue the teams, client relationships and sector expertise needed to capture expanding investment banking revenues. For sellers, a transaction can provide greater platform scale, improved access to financial sponsors, larger average fees, new products or geographies, and a path to address succession and liquidity considerations. Together, these buyer and seller motivations have renewed interest in the sector. But selling a boutique investment bank is unlike selling almost any other business. The principal assets, bankers, client relationships, reputation and transaction pipeline, literally walk out the door each night, making valuation, deal structure and employee retention inseparable. Broker-dealer M&A is not simply private-company M&A with a FINRA filing at the end; the regulatory and human-capital dimensions affect virtually every aspect of the transaction.This one-hour briefing will take a practical, transaction-focused look at how these deals actually work and where they most often become complicated. Jon Hemmert, a leading adviser to sellers of boutique investment banks, will examine market conditions, the buyer universe and valuation dynamics. The Willkie Farr team will then address the distinctive provisions of broker-dealer acquisition agreements, the most commonly negotiated provisions, and the FINRA approval process. We will use a single hypothetical throughout the briefing to guide the discussion. A founder-controlled investment bank with $30 million of revenue, $8 million of normalized EBITDA and five senior bankers that receives an $80 million offer. Is $80 million a good price? How is this paid? What if two bankers refuse to join the buyer? Who gets the fee from a mandate that closes after the acquisition? What if FINRA approval takes six months? What happens to the founder's earnout if the buyer terminates him?  Practising Law Institute 1177 Avenue of the Americas New York NY 10036 USA (800)260-4PLI info@pli.edu 478496 478496 83 G5921 2026-10-30T18:00:00Z 1:00:20 New York NY USA https://www.pli.edu/programs/whats-trending-in-cyber-insurance-disputes-rulings-recission-and-artificial-intelligence/479877?tCode=WTC5_RSS01 Cybersecurity and data protection Cybersecurity insurance Insurance Technology Artificial intelligence This briefing tackles the hottest issues in cyber insurance, a market expected to reach $30 billion by 2027.

The CLO-CFO relationship is particularly critical because Legal and Finance sit at the intersection of strategy, risk, governance, financial discipline, operational execution, stakeholder confidence, and enterprise value creation. In this dynamic one-hour panel discussion, expert faculty will discuss how strong CLO-CFO relationships can move beyond functional silos and contribute to better business outcomes.Whether you are early in your legal career, an in-house counsel working with Finance and other business leaders, or an aspiring General Counsel, this discussion will help you understand why this relationship matters and how to develop the capabilities needed to contribute effectively to successful C-suite relationships.

The problems reach far beyond the hallucination issues reported in the mainstream press. Legal AI has also had significant challenges with completeness and errors in legal reasoning. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Based on emerging design patterns being used in other high trust assurance domains like healthcare and drawing on cutting edge agentic research, there is now a clear path to architecting reliable and highly performant Legal AI that applies to Legal AI systems regardless of scale.

Far less has been said about how physical health shapes mental health, and vice versa, for better or worse. In this program, Denise A. Robinson, author of The Practice of Being Well: A Lawyer’s Guide to Health, Purpose, and Connection (PLI Press, November 2026), opens a conversation about availability: specifically, the role physical health plays in a lawyer’s availability to meet their ethical duties. Many of the key cognitive and executive functions lawyering depends on—attention, memory, judgment, and self-regulation—are grounded in the body, and whether they are available to you on any given day depends on how you move and rest.Denise will be joined by educational leader and instructional design expert Dr. Kim Pinckney. Together, they will borrow two frameworks from outside the law. In education, a student must be regulated and “available for learning” before any instruction can take hold. In professional sports, agents use availability data, meaning how reliably an athlete is ready to play, to show that athlete’s value at the negotiating table. Applied to legal practice, these frameworks offer a new way to assess your readiness to serve and to treat your body as a professional asset rather than an afterthought.

But what's difficult to train is the dynamic human piece: how a lawyer shows up in real time, without a script. This briefing introduces applied improvisation principles built for that reality, demonstrated live between two experienced attorney presenters with experience ranging from BigLaw and plaintiff-side litigation to federal prosecution and in-house dealmaking. Attendees learn how to listen fully while staying analytically engaged, how to build on what was actually said rather than what was anticipated, how to navigate mistakes without getting derailed, and how to stay grounded, present, and credible if a matter takes an unexpected turn. Each principle is unpacked with examples drawn from depositions, negotiations, hearings, and client conversations, and paired with practice attendees can do on their own.

Courts are now grappling with the question of how protective orders should address litigants’ use of AI tools to review and analyze confidential documents produced by opposing parties in discovery. To date, the courts that have addressed this issue have taken different approaches and approved or ordered protective order provisions that vary widely in scope and specificity. A common theme that is explicitly stated in a protective order issued by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in June 2026 is that counsel of record are required to take reasonable steps to ensure compliance with the AI-specific provisions in these protective orders.

They found that people who trust AI are more likely to follow incorrect AI advice, analytical people are more likely to push back on incorrect AI responses, and users were more likely to question the answers provided by AI when they were given immediate feedback and incentives for accuracy. While raising concerns that consistent deference to AI could lead to loss of the ability to exercise independent reasoning, they opined that steps like building AI with features that encourage users to evaluate and verify answers before accepting them could mitigate this risk. These findings and the theory of cognitive surrender have implications for attorneys’ compliance with their ethical obligations, education and training for associates and law students on the appropriate use of AI in legal work, and law firm and legal department AI governance programs.
