OVERVIEW
Shifting regulatory frameworks, technological innovation, and the growing complexity of mass tort litigation are transforming the practice of law across North America. As mass tort cases become increasingly sophisticated, law firms must adapt to evolving expectations around collecting and analyzing case and client data, litigation funding, and cross-jurisdictional coordination.
This webinar highlights how these forces are reshaping the landscape for legal professionals navigating multi-plaintiff cases, and offers practical advice for analyzing legal and procedural challenges in mass tort litigation across jurisdictions.
