Plan to attend the
Massachusetts Bar Association's Fourth Annual Complex Commercial Litigation Conference on April
23, at the MBA in Boston.
This year's keynote address will be given
by Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Associate Justice David A. Lowy. Justice Lowy was
appointed to the SJC by Gov. Charlie Baker in 2016. He was
first appointed to the bench in 1997 as a District Court judge, then elevated to
the Superior Court in 2001 by then-Gov. Argeo Paul Cellucci.
The conference will cover pressing issues in each of the three substantive
litigation areas that complex commercial litigation encompasses: business,
intellectual property and bankruptcy. Faculty presenters will include federal
and state judges, and a number of accomplished attorneys who have provided
significant thought leadership in these practice areas.
Conference highlights include:
- Major developments and rule changes
- Annual Judges' Panel discussing insights and suggestions on substantive
and procedural dilemmas that attorneys face regularly, with the bench's view on
the current state of commercial litigation and where things are
heading
A networking reception will follow
the judges’ panel. All attendees of the conference are encouraged to join us for
refreshments and conversation with our distinguished
faculty.
