Nestled into the foothills of the Sonoran Desert, Boulders Resort & Spa is one of the most scenic resorts in the Southwest. The desert getaway is built to impress with an exceptional spa and fitness center, two renowned golf courses, and several restaurants featuring organic cuisine grown on the grounds.
The resort's 215 casitas and villas feature a southwest quiet luxury feel across this expansive property. These impressive features make The Boulders it an ideal location for the Mass Torts Litigation Forum - Plaintiffs' Bar.

What is the Forum?
Established in 2017, the Forum is an annual meeting of up to 48 leading Plaintiff Mass Tort litigators who specialize in pharmaceutical and medical device claims. Participants are personally selected and invited by the Steering Committee based on their vast experience and expertise in mass tort claims.
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 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!"
