Exclusive Access. Unmatched Insight. 
This Is Where Momentum Begins

No Power Points.  No Endless Speeches.

The Litigation Series Inc. creates invitation only meetings for top tier lawyers that are unlike other events.  Our Forums are discussion based and designed for everyone to participate in the dialogue about today's issues and tomorrow's challenges. See why this is unlike any other professional development event or conference.

Our Story and Mission

The Litigation Series Inc. is, once again, a part of Cambridge Forums Inc. Founded in 2004, Cambridge hosts over 100 forums each year across North America, Europe and Asia. Our mission goes well beyond creating annual meetings. We help leaders continue to develop. It is truly lonelier at the top, and we believe that community and collaboration offer the pathway to excellence. The goal is to create communities for those who seek to explore the most pressing issues in off-the-record discussion and be amongst the very best in their practice area. Our unique discussion-based format allows a level of openness which is rare.

Our Format

This is not a Conference. 

With the absence of lengthy speeches and audio-visual presentations, this is different.  Our Forums are invitation only for a peer-recognized group of accomplished litigators.  Everyone participates in a roundtable discussion centered around today’s issues and tomorrow’s challenges.

SHARE YOUR IDEAS

Our Forums let you exchange ideas with top litigators. Expect real debate and fresh insights in a dynamic, focused format.

ENRICH YOUR NETWORK 

With a maximum of 48 people, you’ll go beyond the Agenda. It’s the ideal space to build strong ties and lasting referrals.

BE AMONGST THE BEST

Ours Forums are private. Attendees are chosen by peers for their experience, reputation, and deep knowledge.

 ACCREDITED   FOR CLE

While not typical CLE events, Forums may count for up to 8 hours of credit, depending on your jurisdiction.

Our Steering Committees are comprised of, on average, 10 partner level lawyers, who are considered the thought leaders in their industry.  Each Committee is lead by a Chair or Co-Chairs who lead the Committee by shaping the Agenda topics and invitation process.  The Chair(s) works in tandem with our Forum Directors, to guide them through the planning process.  â€‹

"Terrific mindshare with top national practitioners as peers and colleagues. Perfect balance of big picture challenges and pragmatic defense options. A clearly differentiated, qualitatively superior program – fewer participants, everyone well prepared, engaged, in-depth, every topic was thoughtfully and carefully moderated."

Forums

Our Forums represent a variety of practice areas with a specialization in class actions.  Encompassing both boutique and large litigation firms in the United States and in Europe, these programs are dedicated to addressing cases that are currently in the courts, and the ever-changing landscape of litigation for both sides of the bar.  If you have an idea for a new Forum and would be interested in helping to establish it, please contact Kaitlin Wright.

"The discussion format encourages participation, which results in a much more rewarding experience – and one that is memorable in a way that other less open conferences cannot accomplish. I learned something in each Session. Each participant had the time to explain their perspective and tell war stories!"

Sponsorship
Sponsorship of forums on The Litigation Series Inc.

Sponsorship of our Forums 

​Our Forums are often supported by a Sponsor dinner on the second evening which is hosted by leading claims administrators, litigation funders or banks. 

Sponsorship provides the opportunity for your corporation to be face to face with a small group of elite litigators who are currently working on some of the most high-profile cases in the courts today.  The Sponsor evening provides access to the decision makers in a social environment, which is substantially more fruitful than a tradeshow atmosphere.

If you are looking to expand your client base and strengthen existing relationships, our Forums provide the ideal venue to do just that.  To learn more about current Sponsorship opportunities, contact Kaitlin Wright: 

“Over the past 3 years, we’ve Sponsored a few of Forums with The Litigation Series.  The reason CPT Group keeps coming back is because of the caliber of people at the Forums and how we’re able to see a quick return on our investment.  Each time we Sponsor, I’ve walked away with new contacts and new business opportunities.  Working with Lisa and her team is a seamless process and it’s a great ongoing partnership."

"These Forums are the gold standard for networking with top tier lawyers in a private setting.  The quality of participants, accommodations, dinner and environment exceeded my expectations.  I highly recommend getting involved."
