September 10: Engineering Expert Reports or Testimony for Impact Claims

Description:
Construction litigation is inherently complex, relying on expert witnesses to bridge the critical gap between technical project facts and legal arguments. Designed for attorneys and insurance professionals, this program addresses the vital role experts play in surviving procedural challenges and proving defect or delay claims. Our multidisciplinary panel featuring veteran building consultants, a forensic accountant, and seasoned trial attorneys brings decades of firsthand experience to help effectively deploy experts without risking case dismissal due to technicalities.

This webinar covers the complete lifecycle of expert witness engagement, starting with strategic selection and vetting. Attendees will learn how to establish bulletproof methodological reliability using industry standards like AACE 29R-03 and ASTM E620-18 to withstand strict Daubert scrutiny. The presentation will also detail the role of the economic damages expert, how to strategically leverage non-testifying consulting experts to shape pre-trial discovery, and best practices for preparing experts to deliver compelling, jargon-free testimony at deposition and trial.

Outline:
  • Introduction.
  • Selection & Vetting of Experts.
  • Establishing Reliable Methodology.
  • The Role of the Economic Damages Expert.
  • Pre-Trial Strategy & Depositions.
  • Trial Testimony & Cross Examination.
  • Conclusion.
Learning Objectives:
  • Identify and properly vet the right construction expert for your specific case by spotting advocacy red flags and prioritizing methodological reliability to survive Daubert challenges.
  • Apply transparent industry methodologies such as AACE 29R-03, the Measured Mile, and ASTM E620-18 to bridge the analytical gap between raw project facts and admissible conclusions.
  • Integrate engineering and economic damages experts to ensure technical inputs feed into a cohesive damages model.
  • Deploy non-testifying consulting experts strategically to shape discovery, draft deposition questions, and pressure-test case theory.
  • Navigate depositions and trial testimony by cultivating a personable teacher persona and cross-examining opposing experts effectively.

In This Webinar, We Will Review:
  • What can agents actually do.
  • Why is it so hard to trust one.
  • What should you ask before you buy one.
  • What do the rules already require.

Description:
A faster, cleaner final review.
In long legal documents, small mistakes slip past your review: a term defined one way on page three and used differently on page 30, or a cross-reference pointing to the wrong paragraph. Barron Henley shows you how to run checks fast in MS Word, and where AI catches what can be easily missed. He’ll cover what to check first when a filing’s due in an hour, and what you should never hand to AI.

In this CLE/CPD-eligible* webinar, you’ll learn how to:
  • Apply Word’s revision tools (Track Changes, Compare and Combine, and Editor) alongside AI assistants, to manage multiple versions and reconcile them into one final document.
  • Catch mistakes that slip through review, things like defined terms used inconsistently, headings out of sequence, and cross-references that don’t match, using both Word and AI.
  • Prioritize the checks that protect your duty of competence, and know what still needs your own eyes after AI takes a pass.
Duration: 60-minute session, plus a 30-minute demo of Clio Work at the end.

High Performance Without Burnout: Practical Well-Being Strategies for Lawyers [On Demand]


Description:
Today's legal workforce is stretched thin. The cost of chronic stress and burnout shows up in productivity, retention, engagement, client service, and overall firm performance.

In a profession built on precision, judgment, and sustained intellectual output, diminished well-being carries professional consequences. This program explores how burnout and disengagement develop within high-demand legal environments and how lawyer behavior — particularly among those in leadership roles — directly shapes morale, psychological safety, and performance outcomes.

Participants will examine why boundaries, resilience, and self-leadership are not personal luxuries, but business and professional imperatives.

Attendees will leave with practical strategies to embed sustainable performance practices into daily legal work, helping lawyers and legal teams perform at a high level without eroding long-term effectiveness.

Learning Objectives:
  • Identify the drivers of burnout and disengagement in legal practice.
  • Understand why boundaries, resilience, and self-leadership are professional imperatives.
  • Evaluate the impact of leadership behavior on legal teams.
  • Develop strategies to embed sustainable performance practices.
  • Analyze the business case for investing in lawyer well-being.

“Illegal DEI” Under the Executive Orders — What We Know Now and What's Ahead [On-Demand]

Title:
Webinar Date+Time:

ON DEMAND VIRTUAL EVENT - Originally recorded on June 16, 2026.

Description:
Employers are in a tough spot: They need policies and programs that attract top talent while facing a regulatory environment that is hostile to what the administration considers “illegal DEI.” A year and a half into Trump’s second term, anti-DEI enforcement by the EEOC, DOJ, and other agencies has surged through investigations, litigation, and warning letters directed at high-profile businesses, non-profits, law firms, and other organizations. These recent anti-DEI agency actions and a new executive order targeting DEI at federal contractors provide key insights into what employers should consider when structuring their hiring, promotion, and performance evaluation processes in addition to employee affinity group, mentorship, and other professional development programs to maximize their benefits while minimizing their potential exposure to legal or business risk.

Learning Objectives:
  • Learn the latest legal updates on DEI.
  • Understand the current legal landscape surrounding DEI.
  • Understand the features of workplace programs and policies that may increase their risk exposure to an enforcement action or a potentially viable employment discrimination claim.
  • Learn what updates to look out for in DEI regulation.
Who would benefit from this program: Labor and Employment lawyers, In-House employment counsels, General Counsels, Human Resources professionals, Diversity and Inclusion professionals.
