What is the Forum?

Established in 2019, the Forum is an annual meeting of up to 48 leading Plaintiffs’ lawyers and not-for-profit representatives who specialize in litigating consumer packaged goods and food mislabeling matters. Participants are personally selected and invited by the Steering Committee based on their vast experience and expertise in these areas.

​The Forum does not feature traditional speakers and audio-visual presentations; instead, it focuses on the participation of all those in attendance. This discussion based meeting draws litigators from across the country to examine and debate current issues as identified by the Steering Committee.

​If you are interested in attending the 2026 Forum, please contact Lisa Nichols.

"I appreciated the amount of thoughtful dialogue in the Forum. So often groups are too big or there isn’t enough trust in the room to foster honest rewarding conversation. But, the Forum did a great job creating a generative space and a spirit of cooperation."
