The CLEF Conference is the premier event exclusively dedicated to plaintiff-side attorneys, litigation support professionals, and eDiscovery teams working in complex litigation. This is your space—built by and for the plaintiff community—to come together, share insights, and deepen your expertise in the ever-evolving legal landscape. Through dynamic sessions led by top practitioners, you’ll gain actionable strategies, updates on emerging case law, and peer-tested tools designed to elevate your practice and outcomes for the clients you serve. In addition to an educational agenda, the conference features cutting-edge technology and solution showcases from leading legal technology and service providers. While not developed specifically for the plaintiff bar, these tools are transforming the way complex litigation is managed, from case development and discovery to trial preparation. Join us this September to connect with your peers, explore forward-thinking innovations, and recommit to advancing the power and effectiveness of plaintiff-side litigation. Agenda Overview*Agenda topics are tentative and subject to change CLEF Conference spans two days of focused programming. Thursday is designed as a foundational education day, ideal for plaintiff-side attorneys who are newer to e-discovery or less experienced and looking to build confidence in core topics. Experienced professionals are also welcome to attend for a refresher or to contribute their insight. Friday brings together more senior litigators and strategists for advanced conversations and key updates impacting plaintiff-side practice. All attendees are encouraged to attend both days and engage fully in the CLEF experience.
