Presentations

Don Daugherty, who is Vice Chair of the Defense Research Institute’s Business Litigation seminar titled, “Hot Topics in the Windy City: What’s New and Coming Around the Corner,” will also be moderating a panel where the speakers will discuss the effects that Daimler AG v. Bauman has had on corporate defendants, how plaintiffs are trying to circumvent the decision through the theory of “consent-by- registration” and expansive “specific jurisdiction” theories, and what the pending Supreme Court case of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. v. Superior Court might hold for corporate defendants.
