    In this two-part webinar series, you'll master the artificial intelligence (AI) tools and techniques that are revolutionizing insurance defense law. Learn how to harness artificial intelligence to deliver exceptional client service through rapid case assessment, intelligent document review, and data-driven strategy selection that consistently delivers better outcomes. We'll reveal how to use AI for increased profitability—automating routine tasks, optimizing resource allocation, and creating scalable processes that grow your bottom line while reducing burnout and stress for you and your team.

    This series delivers a complete roadmap for integrating AI into your insurance defense practice safely and profitably. We'll demonstrate hands-on techniques for using AI to analyze complex documents and create executive summaries that impress clients. You'll learn to harness AI for drafting compelling legal work products, identifying crucial information buried in extensive medical documentation, and conducting strategic analysis that gives you an edge over opponents who aren't using these tools. Beyond the technical skills, we'll provide essential guidance on training your team for successful AI adoption, implementing robust security measures to protect sensitive client data, and establishing protocols that ensure ethical and safe AI deployment throughout your firm.

    The legal profession is at a crossroads with AI technology—those who ignore it risk being left behind, while those who adopt it carelessly risk ethical violations and client harm. This program tackles the urgent need for responsible AI deployment by addressing the most pressing concerns facing today's attorneys: how to verify AI outputs to prevent embarrassing errors, protect privileged information when using third-party AI platforms, and establish internal protocols that satisfy state bar requirements for technology competence. We'll provide practical frameworks that allow you to innovate confidently while maintaining the highest ethical standards your clients deserve.

    On December 1, 2025, FRCP 16.1 will take effect dramatically changing the ways that multidistrict litigations (MDLs) are litigated. The new rules aim to provide uniformity in procedure for how MDLs proceed in an effort to moderate leadership disputes, meritless claims, and inconsistent privilege handling. Critically, the new rule requires an early management conference with preconference reports involving leadership, prior orders, and the relation of cases. Finally, the rule creates uniform requirements for early factual disclosures, such as fact sheets and discovery, consolidated pleadings, and early motions practice.
