Even if trucking and auto aren’t your primary focus, this conference could transform your practice.
One case. That’s all it takes to change the trajectory of your year, or your entire career. Sometimes the biggest case of your career isn’t the one you chase. It’s the one that lands on your desk unexpectedly. Even if it’s outside your usual focus, one case can shift your revenue, expand your network, and open doors you didn’t even know were there. The truth is, you don’t have to be a trucking lawyer to benefit from attending the Big Truck and Auto Summit. Some of the most valuable insights and connections come from simply being in the room with powerhouse litigators, national leaders in trucking and auto litigation, and attorneys who know how to turn a complex case into an eight-figure win.
Held August 4–6, 2025, in downtown Chicago, the Big Truck and Auto Summit offers three days of focused, high-impact learning designed for plaintiff attorneys who want more from their cases, their careers, and their connections. The sessions dig deep into real-world strategies, emerging risks, and trial-tested tools that can be applied across a range of injury and liability cases. Even if you never take a trucking case, you’ll walk away with an edge: better storytelling techniques, more innovative pre-suit strategies, and a clearer understanding of how the defense is planning to counter your next case. You’ll also know exactly who to call when a big trucking case does land on your desk, and you’ll be on the shortlist when someone else needs to refer one out.
Past attendees don’t just leave with up to 17 CLE credits; they leave with referral pipelines, co-counsel partnerships, and courtroom techniques that generate real results. You’ll hear from industry-shaping names like Brent Goudarzi, Joe Fried, Glen Lerner, and Mike Morse, and more, who together have secured over $2 billion in verdicts and settlements. They’re not teaching theory, they’re sharing what’s working, what’s not, and how to think creatively when everything is on the line. And unlike larger conventions where speakers often disappear after their presentations, this Summit is capped to allow for genuine access, meaningful conversations, and stronger professional relationships.
The agenda encompasses a wide range of topics, including broker coverage and motor carrier liability, as well as pre-suit strategy, focus groups, and demonstrative-heavy depositions. Many sessions also provide rare insights from the defense side, so you’ll gain a sharper view of risk evaluation, corporate tactics, and the common flaws in the opposition’s game plan. Whether you’re looking to improve your mediation techniques, understand how to approach traumatic brain injury in trucking cases, or refine how you use storytelling to shape a jury’s view, this event delivers tools you can use immediately, regardless of your primary practice area.
Plus, it all takes place in the heart of Chicago at the Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel, just steps from the Riverwalk, Millennium Park, and some of the city’s best restaurants. It’s the ideal backdrop for sharpening your skill set while enjoying a vibrant city and building your national network in a more personal and focused setting.
