      <title>Twenty-Seventh Annual Institute on Privacy and Cybersecurity Law</title>
      <description>Data privacy and cybersecurity issues have become mission-critical C-Suite issues because they directly affect a company’s strategy, legal compliance obligations, financial health, and reputation. Data has become one of the most valuable assets for private and public sector organizations alike. The Internet, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, biometrics, and other transformative technologies employ powerful tools to collect, combine, analyze, use, store, and dispose of personal information. Questions abound regarding the responsibility that comes with the extraordinary power of data-driven generative AI. These rapidly changing data trends create a breathtaking range of compliance and liability issues, while raising the stakes for protecting such data in challenging risk environments, whether internal vulnerabilities or criminal cyberattacks or other threats. New laws and obligations are continually emerging from legislators, regulators, and the courts to address the corresponding privacy and cybersecurity implications. This annual program focuses on the latest developments, along with strategic approaches, to keep attorneys and other privacy and cybersecurity professionals up-to-date and ready to respond effectively in this complex and dynamic area.</description>

      <title>Breaking the Pipeline: Special Education Advocacy for Court-Involved Students</title>
      <description>Every student -- regardless of race, income, court involvement, or disability -- deserves meaningful access to a quality education. However, we know from both lived experiences and available data that reality is far from this ideal, especially for court-involved youth with disabilities. When schools fail to identify and serve these students, the denial of education can set a devastating cycle in motion. Without a path to graduation or the support the law requires, they become vulnerable to surveillance, prosecution, and incarceration. And once inside the juvenile system, where students with disabilities are drastically overrepresented, the cycle deepens. Chronic instability between placements disrupts schooling further, agencies fail to share critical information about students&amp;#39; needs, and young people are funneled directly into the adult criminal system with no diploma, no services, and no way forward.Special education law offers a powerful but underutilized tool to help break this cycle. By integrating special education advocacy into juvenile and criminal defense, attorneys can increase access to education, decrease future court contact, and reshape outcomes for court-involved students with disabilities. As part of a holistic defense team, they can preserve both the substantive education rights and liberty interests of young people, disrupting the pipeline that funnels this population from the juvenile into the adult criminal legal system.  Importantly, public interest and pro bono attorneys can help meet the enormous demand for these services, whether by providing direct special education representation for students in criminal court or by supporting existing special education attorneys with strategic litigation.</description>

      <title>Government Investigations 2026: Strategies for Responding to Investigations</title>
      <description>This timely program brings together leading in-house counsel, law firm practitioners, former regulators, and forensic and data experts to examine how enforcement and regulatory inquiries are unfolding globally in real time. Panels will focus on forensic trends across the regulatory sphere, practical strategies for in-house practitioners, and the evolving role of data, technology, and analytics in responding to regulatory demands using AI. Attendees will gain concrete, experience-driven guidance on handling subpoenas, civil investigative demands, regulatory exams, and enforcement actions — and leave better equipped to navigate inquiries, mitigate risk, and respond with confidence. </description>

      <title>Drafting and Enforcing Multi-State Noncompete Agreements</title>
      <description>Noncompete agreements and similar restrictive covenants help companies protect their trade secrets, customer relationships, and other recognized legitimate business interests. But restrictive covenant laws vary by state, ranging from bans in California, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Oklahoma to strong, pro-enforcement policies in Florida. And they are constantly evolving, including with Washington banning noncompetes and certain other restrictive covenants starting in 2027 – with retroactive effect. Avoid the risks of not having an adaptive, compliant restrictive covenant framework that covers your employees, when your workforce resides in multiple states. In this One-Hour Briefing we will examine best practices for drafting and enforcing restrictive covenants as part of a holistic program designed to be flexible enough to protect your company’s trade secrets and other legitimate business interests, while remaining in compliance with the evolving patchwork of laws. </description>

      <title>AI and Insurance: Navigating Risks, Coverage, and the Evolving Market</title>
      <description>This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the insurance issues arising from the rapid adoption and deployment of artificial intelligence technologies. Led by a panel combining deep AI legal expertise, insurance recovery experience, brokerage insight, and corporate risk management perspective, this session examines how AI is reshaping the risk landscape and challenging traditional insurance frameworks. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of what AI is and how it is being deployed across industries, the regulatory landscape governing AI systems, the key risks AI creates for businesses, how the insurance market is responding to those risks, and how existing insurance policies respond to AI-related claims. Participants will leave equipped with the knowledge to identify AI-related exposures, evaluate how their insurance programs address those exposures, and take practical steps to close coverage gaps.</description>

      <title>International Arbitration 2026</title>
      <description>If your company or client has a dispute arising out of a contract with a foreign party, international arbitration represents the best method of resolving that dispute in a neutral forum and enforcing any subsequent award. However, the resolution of international business disputes through arbitration requires you to consider different issues to those that arise when resolving disputes through litigation: What is the appropriate place of arbitration? Under which rules should you arbitrate? How many arbitrators should you have? Which arbitrator should you choose? How can you make the proceeding more efficient? How do you enforce an award? This program will address these and other critical issues and give you the information you need to successfully navigate the international arbitration process. Join our exceptional faculty of experienced practitioners for instruction on the most current and important topics in this fast-growing field. If you handle any aspects of international arbitration or mediation for your clients or company, you will not want to miss this conference. </description>

      <title>Going Dark: Deregistering With the SEC and Ending Public Company Reporting Obligations</title>
      <description>For some public companies, the costs and complexities of SEC reporting and compliance along with other factors, such as exchange listing standards, may outweigh the benefits of remaining public. In these circumstances, companies may seek to “go dark”—delisting their securities, suspending their periodic reporting obligations and terminating their registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, the process and implications of “going dark” vary depending on the company’s structure, shareholder base, and trading market. The process also contains many traps for the inexperienced.This One-Hour Briefing will provide a practical overview of the legal, governance and accounting considerations involved when a company goes dark. The program will begin by examining what it means to “go dark” and why companies pursue this path, including cost considerations, reduced regulatory burden, and strategic business factors. Faculty will distinguish between companies that go private and cease having publicly traded securities and those that terminate SEC reporting obligations but continue to have securities quoted on over-the-counter markets, such as the pink sheets.Faculty will walk through the mechanics of delisting, as well as deregistration and suspension of reporting under the Exchange Act, including eligibility requirements, timing considerations, Securities Act registration statement considerations, and the use of Forms 15 and 25. In addition, the Briefing will cover when reporting obligations are suspended and ultimately terminated, what filings may still be required during the transition period, and key accounting considerations, including the preparation and timing of any required interim or final audited financial statements.</description>

      <title>Patent Eligibility, Prior Art, Obviousness, and Disclosure 2026: Current Trends in Sections 101, 102, 103, and 112</title>
      <description>Uncertainty around 35 U.S.C. § 101 continues—and in many ways it is growing. Eligibility determinations can vary from case to case, examiner to examiner, and technology to technology, with no clear legislative fix or Supreme Court guidance on the near horizon. This program offers practical, forward-looking insights from both the USPTO and the CAFC. Because Section 101 decisions can shape patent value for decades, we will also discuss whether PERA (if enacted) could improve the path ahead. You will leave with a clearer understanding of current PTO policy, recent CAFC trends, and what these developments may mean for patents being prosecuted today and enforced in the years to come.Sections 102 (pre- and post-AIA) and 103 are litigated and examined both inside and outside the USPTO. This program will help you understand key recent interpretations and what may be coming next. We will also cover Section 112 in the post-Amgen landscape. Finally, we will address design patents—now that the full scope of KSR applies to designs, what should practitioners expect next? </description>

      <title>Catalyzing Client Challenges in the Legal Profession</title>
      <description>This session mobilizes attorneys and legal professionals to embrace their adversities and challenges and applies this transformational principle to the transformative power of client challenges. In today&amp;#39;s complex legal environment, a client’s most daunting obstacle—whether a regulatory hurdle, catastrophic data loss, or a funding crisis—is often the most fertile ground for innovation. Faculty will demonstrate how to transition from a traditional &amp;quot;problem-solver&amp;quot; to a &amp;quot;strategic catalyst,&amp;quot; leveraging a healthy disregard for the impossible to turn insurmountable hurdles into groundbreaking achievements and new revenue streams.</description>

      <title>Pig Butchering and Third-Party Risk: Navigating the Legal Landscape of Tech-Enabled Fraud</title>
      <description>&amp;quot;Pig butchering&amp;quot; fraud schemes have exploded in scale, with the FBI reporting $5.8 billion in losses in 2024 alone. As law enforcement faces jurisdictional hurdles in pursuing overseas perpetrators, regulators, lawmakers, and private litigants have increasingly turned their attention to the third-party intermediaries — financial institutions, cryptocurrency exchanges, social media companies, and technology providers — to seek justice. This briefing will examine the rapidly evolving risk landscape for these intermediaries and offer practical guidance on mitigating exposure.</description>

      <title>SEC Reporting and Practice Skills Workshop for Lawyers 2026</title>
      <description>Many lawyers learn SEC reporting through on-the-job training that often is piecemeal at best. This Workshop is intended to replace that ad-hoc learning process by helping participants develop an in-depth understanding of the reporting requirements of the U.S. federal securities laws. Workshop participants will build the foundational knowledge and practical experience necessary to understand, prepare and review periodic and current reports and proxy statements to comply with the SEC’s extensive disclosure requirements. Participants will also learn important rules and techniques for communicating with the public, including during public offerings of securities as well as what triggers the “duty to disclose,” the importance of “insider trading” policies, and the art of drafting disclosure documents and press releases with a view toward limiting potential liability. This Workshop will include discussion of current and emerging SEC focus areas and is perfect for beginners or as a refresher for experienced SEC reporting professionals.  </description>

      <title>Why AI Agents Need a New Approach to Governance</title>
      <description>The latest “flavor” of Artificial Intelligence is “Agentic AI.” It promises to allow “agents” to deliver autonomous decision-making within organizations without human input. But agentic AI carries risks that must be understood before it is adopted. This PLI Briefing will explore the nature of agentic AI, consider the privacy and cybersecurity risks it might give rise to, and suggest strategies to minimize risks. </description>

      <title>Optional Semiannual Reporting: What Public Companies Need to Know About the SEC’s Proposal</title>
      <description>On May 5, 2026, the SEC proposed permitting Exchange Act reporting companies to elect to file semiannual reports on proposed new Form 10-S in lieu of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The proposal would represent the most substantial change to interim reporting requirements in more than fifty years and could have far-reaching implications for public company disclosure practices, investor communications, internal controls, earnings release practices, securities offerings, analyst coverage, and corporate governance.The proposal has generated significant comment and debate among issuers, investors, governance advocates, securities exchanges, accounting professionals, and market participants. Aspects of the proposal that have been discussed include whether semiannual reporting could reduce unnecessary compliance burdens, allow management to focus more effectively on long-term strategy and business operations, and encourage more companies to enter or remain in the public markets, as well as whether it would result in reduced transparency, diminished comparability among companies, longer periods during which insiders possess material nonpublic information, and the possible impact on investor protections.Please join faculty as they review the SEC’s proposal, discuss the principal policy and practical considerations surrounding optional semiannual reporting, examine themes emerging from comments submitted to the SEC, and consider what steps public companies should begin taking now as they evaluate whether semiannual reporting may ultimately be appropriate for their companies.</description>

      <title>Innovator's Edge: Q3 2026 AI Update for the Legal Profession</title>
      <description>Continue to track AI&amp;#39;s transformation of legal practice through the summer. Join Bridget McCormack (American Arbitration Association) and Jen Leonard (Creative Lawyers) for the third quarterly briefing of 2026 on artificial intelligence&amp;#39;s rapidly evolving impact on the profession. This July session delivers essential, just-in-time updates on the trends reshaping how lawyers work, serve clients, and define their professional identity.McCormack and Leonard will survey the critical developments across six key domains: the broader tech landscape, legal-specific technology, emerging regulatory and ethical frameworks, innovations in legal education and lawyer formation, access to justice initiatives, and the evolving business models of law practice. Most importantly, they&amp;#39;ll analyze how these developments connect, showing how these changes converge to create both challenges and opportunities for forward-thinking practitioners.Drawing on their extensive experience presenting to legal audiences nationwide, the presenters will also tackle the most pressing questions lawyers are asking about AI&amp;#39;s role in their professional lives. Whether you&amp;#39;re an AI skeptic or enthusiast, this accessible session requires no technical background or specialized practice area knowledge—just curiosity about the future of law.</description>

      <title>What Every Company Needs to Know About Data Protection in India</title>
      <description>In 2017, the Supreme Court of India held in Puttaswamy v. Union of India that the right to privacy is constitutionally protected in India. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, also known as the DPDP Act, establishes the statutory framework in India for regulating digital personal data, together with its implementing rules. The framework also aligns with the digital transformation agenda of India and the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision.The DPDP Act and implementing rules are moving the data protection framework in India from enactment to implementation. Key requirements will come into effect in stages, including consent manager requirements and broader operational compliance obligations. The DPDP Act is relevant to companies with operations, relationships, or workflows involving the processing of digital personal data in India. It may also apply to processing of digital personal data outside India if the processing is connected to an activity related to offering goods or services to individuals in India.</description>

      <title>Limited-Time Offer, Unlimited Liability: Hot Topics in Retail and E-Commerce</title>
      <description>As online retail sales have accelerated, so too has the enforcement landscape from the FTC, state attorneys general and class action counsel. In e-commerce, getting the consumer to your website is only half the battle. The real challenge lies in converting site visitors to paying customers. Retailers must constantly innovate to maintain an acceptable conversion rate, but at the same time, must remain wary of the legal minefield that goes along with the more aggressive (and, sometimes even the less aggressive) tactics for doing so. </description>

      <title>Storming the Gatekeepers: When Compliance Officers and In-House Lawyers Are at Risk 2026</title>
      <description>While agencies such as the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provide guidance on corporate compliance expectations, the risk of liability for those responsible for monitoring, disclosing, or advising on compliance is often realized only in hindsight, with severe consequences. It is critical to know how and when directors, officers, legal advisors, and outside auditors might be considered “gatekeepers” and the implications for failing to prevent or address misconduct.  Attendees of this popular yearly program are invited to engage with the faculty in spirited discussions of current enforcement actions, civil litigation, and the complex roles and expectations of corporate gatekeepers.  We will also compare areas of deregulation against areas of increased oversight by the current administration, and what they mean for potential gatekeeper liability.   Attendees will gain practical tools and valuable insight from experienced in-house and outside counsel, compliance officers, and former government regulators, while networking with colleagues and leaders in this unique field of legal practice. </description>

      <title>Artificial Intelligence in Law Practice 2026</title>
      <description>Artificial intelligence is changing the delivery of legal services in all practice areas and settings. The technology continues to evolve and new tools are rapidly being developed and deployed. These new tools present enormous opportunities to be more efficient, improve work product quality, and produce better outcomes in law practice and at the same time create new risks that lawyers need to understand and manage well. Lawyers must have a foundational understanding of AI to fulfill their ethical obligations and capture opportunities to innovate successfully with AI. This program provides that foundation, addressing at a functional level how large language models, generative AI, agentic AI and other AI tools work, as well as recent developments in this space. The expert faculty will then explore the roles and impacts that AI tools can have on legal workflows, various AI use cases, considerations for building AI tools, evaluating AI performance, benefits, and risks, and the ethical, legal, and compliance considerations you need to be aware of as AI continues to reshape the practice of law.</description>

      <title>Fundamental Concepts in Drafting Contracts 2026</title>
      <description>The reduction to writing of an agreed-upon understanding among parties can sometimes be viewed as a cursory step in formalizing a business relationship. Yet the manner in which concepts are expressed on a page is often as important as the concepts themselves. Solid contract-drafting skills are therefore essential tools to any professional who deals with transactions or business relationships. Unfortunately, although contract counterparties might have the best of intentions, many contracts—even those drafted by experienced attorneys and those relating to the most prominent of transactions—are plagued with ambiguities, inconsistencies, unintended imprecision, and “bloat” from rhetorical emphasis, rendering them confusing, risky, and potentially very costly. This course is designed to convey fundamental—but often unconsidered—principles to assist both newly admitted and seasoned attorneys with drafting, analyzing, and interpreting contracts. Unlike many other contract-drafting courses, this course focuses on the manner in which concepts are expressed in a contract, rather than the substance of any provision or contract in particular. </description>

      <title>The Lawyer’s Voice: Presence and Language in Legal Practice</title>
      <description>Many of the most consequential moments in legal practice happen through the lawyer’s voice in real time. A judge, jury, witness, colleague, or client is not only processing the words, but assessing the lawyer as an advocate: their clarity, steadiness, responsiveness, competence, and credibility in the moment. As AI assists with more drafting, research, and first-pass analysis, these live human capacities are becoming more visible, not less. Yet much communication training for lawyers works only at the surface level: artificial vocal variation, gesture coaching, forced pauses, and projected confidence, while leaving the deeper physical and rhetorical capacities of legal speech undertrained. As a result, lawyers often enter the moments that matter with the analytic side of their training ready to go, while the embodied, human side — breath, voice, presence, movement, listening, and connection — receives far less rigorous attention. This disconnect can keep strong legal analysis from landing fully with factfinders, clients, and colleagues. Drawing on classical rhetoric, linguistics, conservatory-level voice and speech training, and applied performance practice, this session reveals voice, presence, and language as necessary legal skills with their own architecture, training methods, and signs of measurable progress. Participants will come away with actionable oral advocacy tools that help legal meaning land in the room with clarity, credibility, and gravitas, rather than remaining trapped in analysis.</description>

      <title>Defending Immigration Removal Proceedings 2026</title>
      <description>Non-citizens facing removal are in need of competent and knowledgeable representation. Studies have shown that those without legal representation face a significantly higher risk of removal, regardless of eligibility for relief. Trained counsel and pro bono attorneys can help fill the need for representation. At this program, expert practitioners will provide a comprehensive, nuts and bolts overview of the laws and policies governing removal and potential avenues for relief and best practices.</description>

      <title>Protecting Innovation: A Governance Framework for Intellectual Property</title>
      <description>Innovation is one of a company&amp;#39;s most valuable competitive advantages, attracting talent and investment, driving revenue, and building lasting brand loyalty. Yet the intellectual property (IP) that underlies innovation is also among a company&amp;#39;s most vulnerable assets, exposed to risks that can undermine years of investment and, in some cases, threaten the business itself. Despite the stakes, many companies lack the governance structures needed to systematically identify, protect, and leverage their IP portfolios. This program offers a practical framework for building effective innovation governance, guiding attendees through the key strategies that protect IP assets and strengthen overall business resilience. In-house counsel, IP practitioners, corporate attorneys, and business professionals responsible for managing IP risk should attend.</description>

      <title>Obtaining U.S. Discovery in Aid for Foreign Proceedings: A Practitioner’s Guide to Section 1782</title>
      <description>As cross-border disputes and investigations grow in scale and complexity, 28 U.S.C. Section 1782 has become an indispensable tool for parties litigating outside the United States. With applications surging roughly 300% over the past decade, Section 1782 is now a cornerstone of cross-border litigation strategy. The statute affords foreign litigants the ability to obtain discovery from individuals and entities located in the United States—including major financial institutions and wire clearing houses—for use in a foreign proceeding, achieving a breadth and speed of discovery that is often unavailable in other jurisdictions. This presentation is a practitioner-focused guide to obtaining U.S. discovery in aid of a foreign proceeding under Section 1782. We walk through the full lifecycle of a Section 1782 proceeding—from filing an ex parte application and serving subpoenas, to litigating challenges, obtaining and using the resulting discovery, and navigating appeals. Grounded in recent case law, the program offers practical, battle-tested guidance on the process, the obstacles that may arise, and how to overcome them.</description>

      <title>Navigating the Digital Minefield: Biometrics, Deepfakes, and Big Brother in the Workplace</title>
      <description>As remote and hybrid work become the norm, companies are rolling out new tools to monitor workplace compliance issues such as attendance, productivity and compliance with company policies. This presentation will unpack the hidden legal minefields emerging from today’s high-tech workplace. From AI-powered smart glasses to AI-generated misinformation and employee tracking tools, faculty will explore how cutting-edge technologies are colliding with privacy, compliance, and liability concerns in unprecedented ways. Drawn from recent headlines and cases, faculty will delve into real-world scenarios including how AI-equipped smart glasses may raise biometric privacy concerns, how AI-generated “deepfake” images and false social media posts can raise privacy and defamation issues; and how social media posts of “off duty” conduct can lead to employee discipline. This one-hour briefing will provide insights into how emerging technologies can create unexpected legal exposures and attendees will learn proactive measures to address and highlight them. </description>

      <title>Medical-Legal Partnerships: A Practical Introduction for Attorneys</title>
      <description>Medical-Legal Partnerships (MLPs) are programs where health care workers and lawyers work together to improve health outcomes by addressing corresponding legal needs and removing legal barriers to healthcare for vulnerable patients. MLPs provide a holistic approach to tackle the systemic issues that negatively impact client health by establishing a close relationship between patients, their care team, community organizations, and lawyers.  This presentation breaks down the M, the L, and the P: the medical benefits to clients and health care providers when lawyers are involved, the many different areas of law that intersect with patient health, and how these partnerships can work. The presenters will address both the substantive legal issues that arise in MLPs as well as other common considerations when working with vulnerable populations in the MLP context. Attendees will learn how MLPs meet the moment of an ever-changing medical and legal landscape and through case examples and substantive information, attendees will gain the knowledge and feel confident in representing clients who have medical concerns that can be met through participation with an MLP.</description>

      <title>The Attorney-Client Privilege and Internal Investigations 2026</title>
      <description>Understanding the scope of attorney-client privilege and attorney work product can be daunting for even experienced legal advisors. Yet, because there are no do-overs for inadvertent privilege waivers when responding to government regulators, knowing how to properly distinguish privileged communications from unprotected “business” discussions is an indispensable skill for those conducting internal investigations whether in-house or outside counselTo answer the tough questions on ethics, privilege, and government regulation, PLI and Program Chair Winston Paes have brought together an exceptional panel of experts representing all sides of an investigation. Our faculty will use engaging hypotheticals and visual presentations to discuss real-world circumstances and cases. Participants will come away from this program with an even sharper understanding of how to the balance an attorneys’ obligation to prevent disclosure of otherwise protected information while also advancing the clients’ best interests before federal regulatory offices where cooperation is often key.</description>

      <title>Fitting New Tech Into the Attorney-Client Privilege and Work Product Protection</title>
      <description>Join us for an overview of how courts and ethics opinions address attorney-client privilege and work product protection when dealing with “new” technologies such as generative artificial intelligence (“GenAI”) and collaborative platforms for discovery, document review, and trial.

      <title>After Heppner: Privilege, Confidentiality, and Trade Secrets</title>
      <description>Judge Rakoff’s February 2026 ruling in United States v. Heppner served as a wake-up call to the legal profession: feeding sensitive client data into public AI models can shatter attorney-client privilege and destroy trade secret protections. This session moves beyond theoretical warnings to provide a concrete, post-Heppner survival guide. Attendees will learn how courts are treating AI platform Terms of Service, how to distinguish between enterprise and consumer deployments, and how to counsel clients who have already exposed proprietary data to third-party LLMs.</description>

      <title>Form 8-K SEC Reporting Essentials Workshop 2026</title>
      <description>Why You Should AttendIn this virtual Workshop for SEC reporting professionals, using the SEC’s guidance discussed in our SEC 101 Reporting Essentials for Financial Professionals Workshop: Legal Foundations &amp;amp; SEC Research Tools, or the SEC 101 Reporting Essentials for Lawyers Workshop: Legal Foundations &amp;amp; SEC Research Tools, you will build the practical knowledge base, skills and tools required to prepare and review Current Reports on Form 8-K and determine when they may be required by the SEC. Many Form 8-K Items have a four-business day deadline. This somewhat compressed deadline is a potential pitfall, particularly when loss of Securities Act Form S-3 eligibility is one of the results of a delinquent Form 8-K. You will learn how to recognize the triggering events that require a Form 8-K to be filed or furnished, when a voluntary Form 8-K may be appropriate, and which Form 8-K Items qualify for the “safe harbor” that preserves a company’s S-3 filing eligibility even in the face of an otherwise tardy Form 8-K. In the Workshop the required disclosures and compliance tips for the most frequent Form 8-K Items will be reviewed. This is an interactive Workshop (via Zoom), during which participants are encouraged to participate in Form 8-K practice exercises and discussions intended to enhance and deepen the learning process.  The Workshop includes online access to PLI’s SEC Reporting Handbook. </description>

      <title>Modern Patent Licensing 2026</title>
      <description>Patent licensing activities of all kinds (including bilateral licensing, portfolio cross-licensing, &amp;amp; patent pools) have been exploding. In addition to traditional patent licensing areas (semiconductors, phones, etc.), a big wave of patent monetization is now spreading into the “connected car” and IoT sectors as every good and service is becoming online, including across industries. This program will emphasize practical tips for structuring, negotiating, and drafting patent licenses, with strategies for both licensors and licensees. The program includes a corporate patent licensing experts panel featuring current and/or former in-house patent licensing executives. We will also feature updates on the latest legal developments from U.S, European and Japanese courts that are shaping (and in some cases, reshaping) patent licensing behavior. As a bonus, the program will also cover ethical issues in licensing negotiations.</description>

      <title>Select Concepts in Drafting Contracts 2026: Analyzing Ambiguities and Contract Boilerplate</title>
      <description>The reduction to writing of an agreed-upon understanding among parties can sometimes be viewed as a cursory step in formalizing a business relationship. Yet the manner in which concepts are expressed on a page is often as important as the concepts themselves. Solid contract-drafting skills are therefore essential tools to any professional who deals with transactions or business relationships. Unfortunately, although contract counterparties might have the best of intentions, many contracts—even those drafted by experienced attorneys and those relating to the most prominent of transactions—are plagued with ambiguities, inconsistencies, unintended imprecision, and “bloat” from unnecessary legalese, rendering them confusing, risky, and potentially very costly.Select Concepts in Drafting Contracts: Analyzing Ambiguities and Contract Boilerplate builds upon PLI’s immensely popular Fundamental Concepts in Drafting Contracts.</description>

      <title>Hot Topics in AI: Cybersecurity, Legal, and Regulatory Risks of Chatbots</title>
      <description>The widespread deployment of chatbots has expanded attack surfaces for cyber-attacks, leading to several high-profile data breaches in the past year. Chatbots have also been at the center of recent regulatory actions and litigation. In May 2026, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania filed a petition seeking to enjoin Character.ai from allegedly engaging in the unlawful practice of medicine. In March 2026, Nippon Life Insurance Company sued OpenAI for allegedly engaging in the unlicensed practice of law. These cybersecurity and legal risks have significant implications for effective, defensible AI governance.</description>

      <title>Ethical Issues in California Pro Bono and Legal Services Representation 2026</title>
      <description>While the ethical obligations of pro bono legal practice are no different than a commercial law practice, there are practical considerations regarding eligibility of clients, challenging clients, conflicts (similar in theory, different in practice settings), expectations on both sides, case management responsibility, and different delivery models, such as limited scope representation, that cause many professionals to hesitate to offer pro bono legal services. This program is designed to answer questions regarding the ethical obligations of pro bono legal service, encourage attorneys to engage in this professionally rewarding aspect of law practice, and remove ambiguities that are barriers to engaging in pro bono legal services.</description>

      <title>Cybersecurity 2026: Managing Cybersecurity Incidents</title>
      <description>Senior management and boards of directors alike often rank cybersecurity as an issue of the highest concern. For good reason -- cyber attacks continue to wreak havoc on organizations in every industry and every country around the world. From governments to health care entities and retailers, cyber criminals have made it clear that no entity is immune. Particularly with attacks on the supply chain and ubiquitous service providers, every organization is vulnerable. In today’s interconnected world, cybercrime targets go beyond those that maintain personal information; many entities have been targets due to the confidential business information they hold about themselves and their business partners. Media reports of the staggering number of sophisticated cyber attacks attest to an upward trend in cybercrime, and the events of the last few years have dwarfed earlier hacking incidents. At the same time, there has been significant activity by the U.S. government to take measures designed to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents. The European Union, UK and other international law enforcement authorities and regulators also have taken significant action to respond to the serious threat posed by cyber criminals. To keep up with the rapidly evolving legal landscape in this field, companies need to be informed not only about the risks they face, but also about policy pronouncements and legislation that could affect how they do business. A thorough understanding of this area is critical for all companies given that every organization may end up in cyber attackers’ crosshairs. Every entity, regardless of size, needs to consider strategies to confront these sophisticated and persistent threats.The multiple challenges posed by cybersecurity issues demand an interdisciplinary approach. Please join us for a robust discussion of the future of cybersecurity with leading experts in the field including law enforcement authorities, regulators, Chief Information Security Officers, cybersecurity lawyers and forensic experts.</description>

      <title>31st Annual Consumer Financial Services Institute</title>
      <description>2026 marks the 31st year of this exceptional program, which, by bringing together speakers with consumer, regulatory and industry perspectives, is considered the premier consumer financial services CLE program in the country.2026 has continued the trend that began in 2025 for the consumer finance industry, with the administration change in Washington bringing about dramatic changes in federal regulatory activity and priorities. At the same time, states are reacting to these developments through legislative and regulatory initiatives that seem likely to intensify over the next few years. Practitioners and industry participants are left to guess at what the new regulatory landscape means in terms of practical compliance considerations, and our program is designed to shed light on this important topic.The volume of private litigation, particularly focused on deposit account issues, credit reporting, debt collection, and data privacy and security also remains high, with evolving changes based on recent jurisprudence, including from the Supreme Court.This popular 1.5-day event brings together faculty representing a wide range of perspectives ranging from federal and state regulatory and enforcement agency representatives to experienced plaintiffs&amp;#39;, defense, in house counsel and consumer advocates who will bring you up to speed on what they are focusing on now and the areas in which the risk of private litigation, including mass arbitrations, and class actions, remains high. They will focus on how the complex network of federal and state laws applies to the broad range of consumer financial services, including credit products, deposit accounts, payments, and consumer reporting and consumer data.  Join us and our esteemed faculty for an insightful review of the most current financial services issues.This event is the second of three complementary events PLI is offering in 2026, all of which are suitable for attendees at all levels. Consumer Financial Services Fundamentals 2026 provides an introduction to the series and is currently available on demand at www.pli.edu, and Consumer Financial Services 2026: Highlights will take place via Live Webcast on December 8, 2026. We hope you will attend all three!</description>

      <description>Mid-sized and smaller reporting companies need to keep pace with the reporting landscape as changes are anticipated under the current administration. Attendees will learn about the standard-setting agendas of the FASB and PCAOB, and will hear updates on rulemaking, interpretive guidance, frequent comment areas and enforcement actions emanating from the SEC. In addition, we have a panel on ethical challenges which qualifies for ethics credit for CPE purposes. Our expert faculty will provide practical approaches to new and complex accounting and disclosure requirements.</description>

      <title>Using State Court Writs of Mandate and Federal Social Security Appeals to Protect the Benefits Rights of Low-Income Clients</title>
      <description>Millions of low-income individuals and families rely on essential programs like cash assistance, food benefits, unemployment insurance, health coverage, and housing subsidies to survive. These lifelines are often their only means to secure food, shelter, and basic necessities. Legal aid organizations are stretched thin, unable to keep pace with soaring demand for representation and support in benefits cases. Many individuals have been unlawfully denied access to these critical benefits. The first step to challenging incorrect benefits decisions is an administrative hearing. If the client loses the administrative hearing, they have a right to seek judicial review of the decision by filing a writ of administrative mandate in Superior Court, or, in the case of Social Security and SSI denials, by filing an appeal in federal district court.The writ of administrative mandate and federal court judicial review processes are complex, and pro bono legal representation is essential to helping clients get and maintain public benefits and to protect their rights.In addition to writs that appeal administrative decisions, California law also allows for “ordinary” writs of mandate that can be used to enforce mandatory duties, to challenge state or local agency policies that improperly deny benefits, and to challenge agency quasi-legislative decisions. Writ practice is also a valuable tool for litigating a wide variety of other issues that affect low-income clients.Join our panel to discuss writs of administrative mandate under Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.5, writs of ordinary mandate under Code of Civil Procedure section 1085, and federal court judicial review of Social Security decisions. This program is designed to help mitigate the crisis faced by low-income families everywhere by providing attorneys with a basic understanding of common issues and strategies in providing pro bono assistance with writs and judicial review.The program will focus on California law but several concepts about judicial review will apply to other states. We will also discuss judicial review in federal court for Social Security decisions, which is the same nationwide.</description>

      <title>AI Governance 2026</title>
      <description>Artificial intelligence is no longer a nascent technology—it is embedded in enterprise operations, customer-facing products, and boardroom strategy. Yet the legal and regulatory frameworks surrounding AI remain fragmented, and AI technologies are fast-moving, evolving at a pace that is hard to track or manage. Meanwhile, regulators globally are sharpening their focus on AI, while corporate boards are being pressed by investors, regulators, and the public to demonstrate meaningful AI value and oversight.This program is designed for in-house counsel, chief compliance officers, outside lawyers, privacy and data protection professionals, board advisors, and risk management leaders who are responsible for—or are advising clients on—the governance of AI systems. It is equally relevant for those building governance frameworks from the ground up and those seeking to stress-test and mature existing frameworks. Whether your organization is deploying its first AI tools or managing a complex portfolio of AI-enabled products and third-party integrations, this program will equip you with the practical frameworks and forward-looking strategies you need to govern AI effectively and defensibly.</description>

From Minnesota’s 2023 total ban to Washington’s evolving tightening of restrictions to Florida’s recent extreme pro-enforcement posture, the rules of the road are changing at every state line. And, while the federal government previously attempted multiple broad-based forays into this historically state law issue, those efforts have largely stalled and federal involvement will, for the foreseeable future, continue with aggressive individual lawsuits.Imagine that one of your client’s key employees just left for a competitor in violation of a noncompete. Or your client is that competitor and has received a cease and desist letter demanding that it fire the employee. Or your client is that employee. Or maybe it’s not just one key employee, but a group of five, ten, or 100 or more employees in a mass lift-out. What do you do?Noncompete agreements and similar restrictive covenants are critical tools for protecting trade secrets, customer relationships, and other recognized legitimate business interests. But the legal landscape varies dramatically from state to state, ranging from bans in California, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Oklahoma to strong, pro-enforcement policies in Florida. And, while public sentiment, evolving state legislation, potential federal initiatives, and trends in judicial review and enforcement are increasingly restricting the use of these agreements, the risks posed by employees who are not subject to restrictive covenants continue to grow.How can your clients stay ahead of evolving restrictions and continue to protect themselves? How will you advise them? Don’t miss your chance to attend this unique full-day program, where leading restrictive covenant law experts will provide a deep dive into the latest legal developments and offer practical strategies for how to navigate the changing laws, judicial attitudes, and regulatory actions effectively.Understanding the changing landscape and its complications and implications is nothing short of critical – particularly for companies engaged in business across state lines.This program brings together top experts and thought leaders from around the country to explore the most pressing and complex issues from the perspectives of employees, former employers, and new employers. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain the insights and strategies you need to navigate this evolving legal landscape.</description>

      <title>Hot Topics in AI: Shadow AI Is Officially “Material” for SEC Purposes</title>
      <description>On May 11, 2026, CB Financial Services filed a Form 8-K with the SEC in which it disclosed a material cybersecurity incident at its wholly owned subsidiary, Community Bank, resulting from the use of “unauthorized artificial intelligence-based software application,” otherwise known as Shadow AI. According to the filing, the incident did not disrupt operations but was deemed to be a material event due to the volume and sensitive nature of the non-public customer information that was disclosed which included customer names, social security numbers, and dates of birth. While Shadow AI risks have been known for years, organizations continue to grapple with it. This filing brings those risks to the forefront for lawyers, auditors, insurers, boards of directors, and investors. </description>

      <title>International Tax Issues Update 2026</title>
      <description>The international tax rules affect not only large U.S. and non-U.S. based multinationals, but also mid-sized and smaller organizations and investors, financing transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and other commercial activity. Recent U.S. and global efforts to re-examine the taxation of cross-border income have led to considerable complexity, uncertainty, and risks of double taxation. To navigate these challenges effectively, it is critical to understand the U.S. international tax rules and recent U.S. and global developments. At this year’s program, we will assemble some of the world’s leading experts and government officials to discuss the complex rules of U.S. international taxation in light of recent legislative, regulatory, and other developments, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), Pillar Two and other OECD efforts. We will focus upon both operational and transactional implications of the changed rules and environment and describe the application of the rules to both U.S. and non-U.S. based organizations and investors.</description>

      <title>Advanced Trade Secrets 2026: New Challenges, Solutions, Technologies, and Imperatives</title>
      <description>Trade secrets can be among an organization’s most valuable assets. Businesses ranging from NASCAR race teams to organizations racing to develop new gene therapies, safer and more reliable autonomous vehicles, more efficient software and new AI platforms and tools depend on trade secrets. Trade secrets law can protect cutting edge technologies, improvements to mature technologies, new combinations of well-known information and a host of valuable technical and strategic information in between. But misappropriation and claims of misappropriation can derail an organization’s business strategies—on both sides of the “v.” They can even lead to criminal exposure and liability for acts in the U.S. and abroad. Judgments on the scores of millions of dollars and even more are becoming increasingly common. So are appeals, reversals, and retrials. Obtaining value from trade secrets requires sharing them—always with employees, increasingly with customers or suppliers or collaborators who may become potential competitors, sometimes with service providers, including AI platforms, and often across borders. New technologies including generative and agentic AI can create or optimize trade secrets or destroy their value. The creators of AI platforms and datasets have their own trade secrets to protect. New techniques for managing and obtaining value from trade secrets are being developed globally. To maximize value and reduce risk, organizations must stay on top of the latest developments. This full day program brings together experts and thought leaders in the field to help you do just that.</description>

      <title>Advanced Internet of Things 2026: Deeper Dive, Practical Wisdom</title>
      <description>It’s complicated! The IoT industry has grown more complex, and the issues are compounded, but not just because of volume of devices, but their penetration. IoT is a part of every industry and sector, from personal to industrial. From tiny cameras and fitness watches assessing our wellness, to vehicles in our factories, on our roadways, and flying our skies, these ubiquitous devices are interacting and communicating generating petabytes of data daily, and directly interacting with people, to our collective benefit, but sometimes, to our detriment, and unfortunately, physical harm. Their creation, sale and operation, like any product in the stream of commerce, is governed by the contracts, regulations and, in some instances, litigation. But these IoT devices have an unusual twist, while they are part physical and part data, they operate autonomously, and thus, present a new dimension of legal complexity. </description>

      <title>Artificial Intelligence and Privacy 2026</title>
      <description>Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming every industry, and reshaping the legal, regulatory, and operational risks organizations face. As companies accelerate adoption of generative AI, AI Agents, and automated decision-making technology, the intersection of AI, privacy, cybersecurity, and data governance frameworks has become a critical challenge for every business.  Yet, new legislative proposals seek to rein in perceived AI risks via new privacy laws. Are new privacy laws the right approach? Should we look to enact new specialized AI laws? And what practical steps can companies take now to mitigate the broader legal and societal risks posed by AI? What role can algorithmic impact assessments, transparency in algorithmic decision-making, stakeholder involvement, algorithmic destruction, and other programmatic frameworks play in the ultimate solution? This program will explore the rapidly evolving global regulatory landscape governing AI and data protection, including the EU Artificial Intelligence Act, GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and emerging U.S. and international frameworks. Attendees will examine how organizations are implementing responsible AI governance programs through transparency, explainability, human oversight, algorithmic accountability, impact assessments, and enterprise risk management frameworks.The program will also address emerging operational threats, including AI-enabled cyberattacks, deep fakes, sophisticated ransomware campaigns, and the increasing risks associated with autonomous AI systems and AI Agents.Now in its eleventh year, this premier program brings together leading practitioners, academics, technologists, and industry professionals responsible for shaping enterprise AI governance and global privacy strategy. Designed for professionals navigating the complex intersection of AI innovation and legal compliance, the program delivers practical guidance, strategic insights, and actionable recommendations for implementing responsible AI at scale.</description>

      <title>Psychological Issues in the Workplace 2026</title>
      <description>Employees from the shop floor to the C-Suite are grappling with a variety of stressors largely out of their control, including the rise of A.I., layoffs, and changing legal, regulatory, and political initiatives.  As the status quo shifts, changes create practical, financial and emotional risks for employees and employers alike. Understanding the role psychological issues play in the genesis, prosecution and defense of employment law claims is critical for employee rights and defense attorneys alike.This program will address in a clear and pragmatic way key employment law issues at the intersection of law and psychology. Harassment, discrimination and retaliation claims, among others, are profoundly impacted by the range of emotions that motivate employees and employers. So, too, are frequent claims involving disabilities and failure to accommodate. This program brings together a representative from the New York City Commission on Human Rights, prominent practitioners from the employee rights and management bars, psychologists, and a former federal magistrate judge to address the creation and litigation of today’s employment law claims. They will identify key legal issues and ways in which psychological factors influence the employees, managers and employers engaged in conflict. Speakers will transcend jargon, identify practical ways of working together, and describe effective strategies to avoid, pursue and resolve litigation.Additionally, this program will focus on the current status of DEI and elimination of bias programs in the legal profession, including the challenges facing attorneys who are neurodivergent or who have a mental disability and the reasonable accommodations and other resources that may be available to them.Employment lawyers often work with mental health professionals, sometimes aligned and at other times adverse. Our legal and psychiatric experts will also consider the ethical and professional responsibilities of attorneys and mental health professionals (forensic and treating) when they are involved in employment litigation. Our panelists will discuss ethical tips and traps when employment lawyers and mental health professionals engage in discovery of psychiatric records, mental examinations, and depositions and trial testimony from expert and treating therapists.</description>

      <title>Best Practices in Equitable Legal Supervision 2026</title>
      <description>Employees rank quality of supervision as the number one factor in determining employment satisfaction and engagement. Oftentimes, we think being a good lawyer is enough to make someone a good supervisor, but the skill necessary to be an excellent supervisor or people manager can be very different than the ones that allow us to excel in a courtroom. When we find excellent supervisors, it is important to provide the support and systems they need to thrive, especially as we work hard to diversify our staff. Supervision is a two-way relationship, and it can be complicated by the identities involved. This program will provide the basics of excellent supervision and provide systems and strategies to make sure supervision is equitable and effective for both people in the supervision relationship.</description>

      <title>Hot Topics in AI: Ethical Issues in Use of AI in Discovery</title>
      <description>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.</description>

      <title>Patent Law Institute 2026: Critical Issues &amp; Best Practices</title>
      <description>The past several years brought a constant barrage of changes in patent law, between proposed new legislation (PERA, PREVAIL), new USPTO filing procedures (DOCX, Patent Center), and Supreme Court activity (Amgen, etc.) at a rate not seen in decades. The Institute is your answer to keeping abreast of these myriad developments, whether your practice focuses on litigation, prosecution, or strategy/transactions. Sit back, listen, and learn and ask questions from our experienced faculty.</description>

      <title>Representing Clients Struggling With Mental Health 2026</title>
      <description>Struggling with your mental health is difficult. Representing individuals who struggle with their mental health can be complicated and rife with difficult discussions. Through this three-hour presentation, Chelsea M. Donaldson, a noted expert on mental health and experienced veterans attorney, will walk through a variety of scenarios of representing people who struggle with their mental health, how to effectively communicate with someone in crisis, and end with a discussion on how to manage an often unwieldy support network while still keeping your oath to your client.</description>

      <title>Counseling the Small Nonprofit</title>
      <description>Nonprofits are like small businesses, except they have complex federal and state regulatory oversight. This presentation will focus both on substantive nonprofit law and also on best practices for counseling small nonprofits and disseminating understanding of the law to organizations that often do not have any attorneys on staff and are juggling multiple priorities. Attendees will take away the ability to issue spot for federal and state nonprofit law issues, advise clients appropriately and create actions plans with clients for addressing outstanding issues in practical ways.</description>

      <title>Advocating for Veterans: The Basics on VA Benefits, Discharge Upgrades, and Veteran Cultural Competency 2026</title>
      <description>IMPORTANT! If you get accredited by the VA before you attend this training, the last three hours will satisfy the VA’s CLE requirement.1. Attorneys and other advocates must be accredited to practice before the VA. To obtain attorney accreditation you must complete this form: www.va.gov/vaforms/va/pdf/VA21a.pdf.2. Accreditation by the VA may take several weeks, so do not delay filing your application. You can speed up the process by emailing the form to OGCAccreditationMailbox@va.gov.3. Within 12 months after accreditation you are required to complete three hours of qualifying CLE. The afternoon session of this program satisfies that requirement, but only if you have already received your accreditation from the VA. If you have not received it, you should still watch this program, but keep in mind that you will need to complete three additional hours of CLE within 12 months after receiving your accreditation.4. Attorneys and other advocates who become accredited will be listed on a national VA list, and are entitled to represent veterans in their initial claims for VA benefits on a pro bono basis, and on VA benefits appeals for attorney’s fees.There are approximately 18 million veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. Many of them are not aware of the benefits to which they are entitled. Medical, housing, and financial assistance are available to those who have served in the military, but many veterans most in need are not receiving assistance from the VA. Navigating the VA’s claims system and the Department of Defense’s discharge upgrade process is often difficult and complex. Attorneys with veterans law expertise play an essential role by:Representing veterans in the discharge upgrade process, and thus removing that barrier to benefits, employment, and social services.Developing evidence to “service-connect” their injuries or disabilities.Using current medical or mental health evidence to document the severity of symptoms for accurate disability ratings.Advocating for VA eligibility determinations for those given less-than-fully honorable discharges for minor disciplinary infractions consequent to Post-Traumatic Stress or Traumatic Brain Injury symptoms.</description>

      <title>Advanced Compliance and Ethics Workshop 2026</title>
      <description>Effective compliance and ethics (C&amp;amp;E) programs are essential to organizations of all kinds and are expected of companies that wish to be viewed as good corporate citizens. Strong programs help organizations prevent, detect, and respond effectively to misconduct. Robust C&amp;amp;E programs not only reduce the likelihood of devastating criminal and regulatory actions, but they also foster employee trust and strengthen organizational culture.   At this unique Workshop, compliance officers and in-house and law firm attorneys working in the compliance field will learn about leading C&amp;amp;E practices from the exceptional team of Rebecca Walker of Kaplan &amp;amp; Walker and Julian J. Moore of A&amp;amp;O Shearman.  Rebecca and Julian will be joined by a distinguished faculty drawn from prominent corporations, influential law firms, academia, and key government agencies to provide you with the tools you need to enhance your C&amp;amp;E program, protect your company and further your professional development. </description>

      <title>Immigration Practice: Strategies and Tactics for Petitions for Review in the Federal Courts of Appeal 2026</title>
      <description>A petition for review before the United States Courts of Appeals is typically the last opportunity for review in immigration cases, after a removal order from the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), a decision by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), or the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen or reconsider. Recently there have been significant changes in the immigration law landscape, as the U.S. Supreme Court has issued several decisions that impact the adjudication of petitions for review of immigration decisions. The federal courts of appeals also publish numerous precedential decisions addressing immigration law each year. It is more important than ever for advocates to have a clear understanding of the petition for review process. Understanding the review standards and procedures that govern Circuit Court practice is crucial to creating a good record before an Immigration Judge and preserving arguments on direct appeal to the BIA. It is also necessary for the successful resolution of noncitizens’ cases once they reach the Circuit Court level. This training will cover strategies for analyzing BIA decisions and delve into jurisdictional issues, scope and standards of review, oral argument skills, and other skills necessary for representing petitioners before the federal courts of appeals. There is no “prerequisite” for this training, though it will build upon last year’s “Developing an Immigration Appeal–Strategies and Tactics for Success,” which remains available on-demand.</description>

      <description>This program simulates a public offering from start to finish: from the initial kickoff meeting, to understanding how the law translates into the mechanics of doing an offering, to working with the SEC and applicable stock exchange, to the closing dinner. The “how to do it” approach includes the preparation of registration statements, the SEC review and comment process, stock exchange listing and pricing mechanics. The course will also highlight “hot” topics in the current environment.</description>

      <title>Social Security Administration Disability-Based Benefits 2026: From Administrative Proceedings to Federal Practice</title>
      <description>This program will address the basics of Social Security law and practice, and how to represent clients with disabilities who are seeking benefits or appealing benefit claim denials. The application and appeals process can be confusing and difficult for the many claimants for disability benefits who cannot afford legal representation, and representation by counsel can make the difference. At the program, experienced practitioners will discuss fundamentals, evolving issues, and practical considerations for representing clients with disabilities who need representation, particularly when the claimant is appealing an unfavorable decision to an Administrative Law Judge or for further review. </description>

      <title>Hot Topics in AI: Legal and Regulatory Risks of Financial Sector Agentic AI</title>
      <description>As artificial intelligence companies partner with financial institutions across the country, the development of agentic AI has expanded. There are both significant opportunities in deploying agentic AI in the financial sector, and corresponding risk. Various federal and state level legislators and committees have articulated some guidelines for agentic AI use cases, while leaving patchwork-style touchpoints for lawyers, C-Suiters, and governance and compliance professionals.</description>

      <title>SEC Management’s Discussion and Analysis Comments – A Closer Look</title>
      <description>Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&amp;amp;A) is perennially a top area for SEC comments. Comments frequently focus on expanding quantitative and qualitative discussion of financial statement changes, explaining causal factors, disclosing material known trends, and describing the uncertainty in critical accounting estimates. This program will begin with a brief review of the SEC’s MD&amp;amp;A guidance. This guidance will be applied to detailed real-world examples of MD&amp;amp;A disclosures and the SEC comments and company responses related to those disclosures. Based on these examples, discussion will address how to avoid SEC comments and potentially worse outcomes related to MD&amp;amp;A disclosures.</description>
