Duane Morris Partner Alan Klein to Speak at American Conference Institute Meeting
October 4, 2006 | Chicago
| Wyndham Chicago
Alan Klein, of the Philadelphia office, will speak at the American Conference Institute meeting in Chicago on October 4-5, 2006. This conference, "Preventing and Defending Chemical Products Liability Litigation," will offer discussion on proven strategies in risk assessment and causation and the "battle of the experts" in an interactive workshop format. Alan will discuss the topic, "Evaluating and Overcoming Causation Claims, Defeating Medical Monitoring, and Preparing for the Daubert Hearing."
Attendees will benefit from the expert faculty's thorough analyses on using scientific and genetic evidence to aid a defense, and receive practical strategies that can be applied directly to future cases. Private and in-house counsel immersed in the world of chemical litigation (or trying to avoid it) will share their views on some of the hottest issues including:
- Analyzing the Rhode Island lead paint dispute and applying lessons to claims
- Counseling clients on safety and prevention strategies
- How the chemical litigation climate has changed since the Bates decision
- Using genetic studies to bolster a defense
- Undermining the plaintiff's use of animal studies
- Preparing for an e-discovery request in a chemical case
- Complying with regulatory standards in the EU and Asia-Pacific
