September 27, 2016

Gibbs Law Group attorneys Karen Barth Menzies and Amy Zeman travelled to Aspen, Colorado for the fourth annual Women En Mass Conference, a gathering of women mass tort attorneys from across the country. This year’s conference covers a wide range of topics pertinent to female attorneys, including:

  • negotiation strategies,
  • equal pay litigation,
  • e-discovery and the new federal rules,
  • strategies for multi-district litigation, and
  • updates on various ongoing mass torts throughout the country.
