Some conferences spark ideas. Others create momentum. The 2025 Big Truck and Auto Summit delivered both.
Plaintiff attorneys from across the country recently gathered in downtown Chicago for two powerful days of refining litigation strategies, building referral relationships, and exploring innovative approaches to litigating high-volume and catastrophic auto and trucking cases. From powerhouse speakers like Brent Goudarzi, Joe Fried, Shean Williams, Mike Morse, and Glen Lerner, to candid hallway conversations and intimate networking dinners, every moment was designed to sharpen skills and expand opportunities.
With attendance intentionally limited, participants had unprecedented access to speakers and colleagues, gaining courtroom-tested tactics, real-world insights, and the kind of connections that can change a career. Many left with more than 17 CLE credits, new tools, a clearer vision for their practice, and the drive to put it all into action.
If you missed this year’s Summit, don’t make the same mistake twice. The strategies apply across practice areas, the relationships last well beyond the event, and the momentum is real. Plans are already underway for the 2026 Big Truck and Auto Summit, and details will be released soon.
That momentum doesn’t stop in Chicago. The National Trial Lawyers is bringing more high-impact events this fall, each designed to unite the country’s top legal minds, provide premier CLE opportunities, and create spaces where real connections happen. Whether your goal is to grow your referral network, future-proof your firm, or explore the latest innovations in the legal industry, these upcoming conferences deliver.
First up is Law-Di-Gras, October 16–18, 2025, at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego. This one-of-a-kind, music festival–themed experience blends serious education with high-energy entertainment, bringing together trial lawyers, legal tech innovators, marketers, and operations leaders. Built around The Network Effect, it’s where lifelong relationships are formed and business opportunities take root.
In November, The Business of Law Conference takes over the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa from November 6–8. This event gathers industry leaders and innovators to share strategies for running a high-performance law firm, acquiring quality cases, and implementing technology that streamlines and strengthens operations.
Also in Scottsdale, on November 6, The National ABS Law Firm Association’s 4th Annual Event will explore the rapidly evolving ABS model with expert-led panels, regulatory insights, and networking for those leading or considering an ABS firm.
