Stagione 2
Time shapes almost every discovery decision, and the gap between an efficient matter and a costly one comes down to how well counsel manages it. Hon. Susan L. Greenberg (Ret.) of Signature Resolution focuses on the two levers that matter most: cutting cycle time across collection, review, and production, and eliminating the rework that quietly doubles the effort. Attendees will learn how to compress the timeline without sacrificing accuracy and how to avoid the repeated searches, redone privilege logs, and duplicated productions that drain hours. The result is a faster, leaner process that keeps cases on schedule and on budget. Audio versions of Beverly Hills Bar Association programs are eligible for Self-Study CLE credit in California.

As remote practice becomes the new normal, attorneys become susceptible to ethical conundrums they never previously considered —and that’s where trouble can sneak in. This CLE unpacks the ethical minefields of working without borders - from inadvertent unauthorized practice of law to confidentiality slip-ups, misleading multi-jurisdictional presence, supervisory challenges, and more. Join us for a practical, engaging look at how to stay ethically uncompromised, stay secure, and keep your digital footprint from stepping over jurisdictional and ethical lines.

An appellate brief is the primary tool through which advocates educate and persuade the court. Understanding how judges, research attorneys, and other decisionmakers read briefs, evaluate credibility, and identify dispositive issues can dramatically improve the effectiveness of written advocacy. Drawing on their combined experience evaluating appeals from both sides of the bench, M.C. Sungaila and Melanie Gold of Complex Appellate Litigation Group LLP provide practical insights into what makes an appellate brief persuasive and what common mistakes can undermine even strong legal arguments.

California's Senate Bill 306 reshapes the prior authorization landscape by codifying Health and Safety Code Section 1367.025 and granting the Department of Health Care Services broad authority to determine when insurers may require prior authorization for covered health care services. Beginning in 2026, DHCS must collect data on insurer approval and denial rates, and no later than January 1, 2028, direct insurers to remove prior authorization requirements on services approved at a rate of 90% or greater, subject to carve-outs for experimental, investigational, and out-of-network services. This program also situates the reform within the broader national debate over prior authorization and explores how the shift in regulatory power may reshape health insurance litigation. Attendees will leave equipped to advise clients on compliance obligations, exemption determinations, and emerging litigation risks under Section 1367.025.

Quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity are reshaping the legal and regulatory landscape faster than most practitioners can track, and this session offers a grounded briefing on where each is heading. The program opens with a look at quantum technology and the approaching reality of cryptographically relevant quantum computers, led by Sanjeev Bhasker and Corey Bieber, partners and leaders in K&L Gates’ Quantum industry group. The discussion then turns to the latest developments in artificial intelligence and what they mean for the practice of law and for clients in high-technology and regulated sectors. Sanjeev Bhasker, a former White House cyber attorney who served as Acting General Counsel of the Office of the National Cyber Director across both the Biden and Trump administrations, joins his K&L Gates colleague Coey Bieber, a data protection and emerging technologies practitioner, to close the discussion with the cybersecurity, sanctions, and CFIUS considerations that increasingly shape cross-border transactions and national security review. Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of how these emerging and converging technologies are influencing law, policy, and risk, and what to watch as the government’s posture continues to evolve.

Wage and hour claims, termination disputes, and accommodation requests generate more employer liability than almost any other area of California law, and with penalties stacking quickly under the Labor Code, the cost of a misstep keeps climbing. Counsel who advise employers need command of both the preventive measures that reduce exposure and the defenses available once a claim is filed. Anthony Zaller of Zaller Law Group breaks down the wage and hour fundamentals that drive the most litigation, including meal and rest break compliance, overtime classification, and recordkeeping obligations. He then turns to building defensible terminations through documentation, performance management, and proper final pay practices, as well as the reasonable accommodation standards and interactive process requirements that frequently surface in disability claims. Throughout, the program emphasizes the policies, training, and consistent enforcement that give employers their strongest position in a dispute. Outside counsel and in-house counsel alike will leave better equipped to guide employers on compliance and to defend wage and hour, wrongful termination, and accommodation claims.
