“Ten years come and gone so fast,” says the Paul Simon song. And so goes the first decade of SuperConference, which InsideCounsel celebrated May 25 and 26 at the Fairmont Chicago. The theme of change pervaded many of the conference sessions as attendees absorbed panels dissecting the challenges and opportunities of doing business in Brazil, optimizing new tools when defending product liability litigation and managing the ongoing movement toward alternative fee arrangements.
The demographic and ideological shift in the Supreme Court was highlighted as well by keynote speaker and super litigator Ted Olson, who most recently represented Citizens United in this year's game-changing campaign finance case. As justices retire and the panel becomes younger, he says the high court is seeing the most change in the least amount of time in its history.
The night before SuperConference kicked off, InsideCounsel hosted its First Annual Transformative Leadership Awards dinner. The awards honored women attorneys who have created opportunities and empowered other women attorneys, both in-house and at law firms.
