CLIENT
WELCOME TO MUSIC CITY USA – Nashville Tennessee – and the Spring 2019
USLAW NETWORK Client Conference. Join us March 28 - 30, 2019, in exciting
Nashville - where folks come to be country stars...and country stars come to
be home.
But before we experience the sounds of Music City, we’ll first experi-
ence what USLAW does best – top notch educational presentations that are
concise, clear and on point. Our five areas of concentration will be Construction
Law, Insurance Law, Retail and Hospitality Law, Transportation and Logistics,
and finally, Data Privacy and Security. Each track delivers up-to-date informa-
tion and analysis of some of our industry’s hottest topics. Add to the mix, the
dynamic and inspirational presentation by keynote Dr. RIck Rigsby and you
have the formula for an unmatched educational opportunity.
But eventually we give into the temptations and the sounds of
Nashville, leaving the classroom for an afternoon of honky-tonk. From record-
ing studios to the Listening Room, to walking with icons Johnny Cash and Patsy
Cline to feeding wild animals at the Nashville Zoo, you’ll finish your day with a
real taste of what makes Nashville tick.
But don’t get too comfortable, because nothing shakes, rattles and rolls
quite like a Nashville Night. Sure Nashville is known for it’s country music... but
its also home to a very upscale – and flavorful – culinary scene. Experience
Nashville’s five-star dining at our opening night Dine Around. We’ll crank it up
a bit the following nights with an unbelievable evening with legends inside the
Country Music Hall of Fame, and closing event, the Garden Party Spring Soiree.
Nashville in the springtime...make plans now to join us in March in the
heart of Country Music. Boots optional.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SUMMARYJUDGMENT AND APPEAL? Some contend that the art of preparing a case for dis-positive motion has been lost. Unfortunately, there areseveral factors in today’s litigation practice that validatethis contention. We will examine several of those fac-tors, including the differing outcomes and costs associ-ated with pursuing such motions in state court versusfederal court, the ever-growing trend of early case reso-lution, overall risk adversity due to unpredictable andoutrageous jury verdicts and a general cost/benefitanalysis. We will also examine how failing to posture acase for summary judgment can cost one considerablesettlement leverage at the mediation table.
INITIAL CASE ASSESSMENTS ANDEVALUATIONS: WHAT DOES THE RETAILCLIENT WANT TO KNOW AND WHEN? With the proliferation of advertising firms filing firstnotice lawsuits coupled with 98% of filed civil casesbeing settled, what are clients looking for and when indeveloping internal reserves, settlement authority andclaim strategies. This interactive discussion will centeron how to bridge the gap between the initial investiga-tive cost and early resolution.
NAVIGATING THE WATERS WHENDEFENDING CLAIMS BY MINORS Claims by minors bring unique issues and challengeswith regard to investigating, defending and resolvingclaims. This presentation will touch upon such issues asstatute of limitations, the role of the guardian ad litem,negotiating with emotional parents, to predicting juryoutcomes with the sympathetic plaintiff.
THE 1000-POUND GORILLA:MITIGATING LEGAL COST FROM THEATTORNEY PERSPECTIVEAs a follow-up to the popular 2017 spring conferencepresentation where a panel of clients outlined the fac-tors they take into consideration when evaluating theeffectiveness of outside counsel’s representation, thisfollow-up session will weave in the attorney perspective.This program is intended to be an open discussionbetween an attorney panel and audience members, andattorneys will address challenges sometimes presentedby billing and case reporting guidelines, working attor-ney restrictions and other client-specific mandates. Thisforum is an opportunity for both client and outsidecounsel to learn from one another through conversationsthat need to take place before it is “too late.” Topicswill range from the choice of panel counsel, alternativefee arrangements and bill review programs to expert dis-covery and retention, early resolution and mediation.
FRAUD AND CORRUPTION INPERSONAL INJURY LITIGATION This session will take a behind-the-scenes look at fraud-ulent schemes to stage slip-and-falls. Discussions willcenter on referral relationships between private inves-tigative firms and doctors and the competitive nature oftrue ambulance chasing and advertising. Panelists willdiscuss the impact of these underlying issues in defend-ing suits and the importance of practicing with a height-ened awareness to what may be going on behind thescenes.

THE FUTURE IS NOW
UTILIZING APPELLATE COUNSEL BEFOREYOU NEED THEMIn this session, we explore the counterintuitive economyachieved by retaining appellate counsel for the life of acase. Appellate lawyers can anticipate how to protectthe record in discovery and at trial, preserve goodresults and avoid bad ones.
NIPPING THE “EXTORTION CASE”IN THE BUDOn the other side of the economics spectrum we have“Extortion Cases,” which present questionable theoriesof liability and limited damages, but can be difficult –and expensive – to get rid of. Our panelists share theirthoughts and methods about how to dispose of thesematters as efficiently as possible.
THE “NEW” STANDARD OF CARE – TECHNOLOGY The plaintiff’s bar is now asking what you didn’t have onyour truck. Is the failure to use technology a legitimatecause of action? In this session, we explore whether col-lision avoidance technology is the current standard ofcare. In addition, we will discuss the current status ofrulemaking with respect to this technology.
TECHNOLOGY ON ITS HEADWhat happens when technology does not do what it issupposed to do? Should the trucking industry point fin-gers at the “new technology?” In a related topic, we willdiscuss the wisdom and/or viability of pointing the fin-ger at the manufacturers of collision avoidance technol-ogy, in the event it does not work as advertised.
AUTOMATIC BUT FOR THE PEOPLE: AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES AND OTHERSCIENCE FICTION TURNED FACT The trucking industry’s autonomous future is here. Ourpanel members discuss the status of autonomous trac-tors and their impact on the industry, including whetherthey will help with qualified driver shortages and howthey present exposure to new forms of risk.
KEEP YOUR HAND ON YOURWALLET: THE PLAINTIFF’S PLAN OFATTACK FROM THE PLAINTIFF’S ANDMEDIATOR’S PERSPECTIVEThey say the best settlements are those where both par-ties dislike the result at least somewhat. In this pro-gram, the plaintiff’s lawyer and mediators on our paneldo their best to unpack this truism and provide insightsfrom the other side. Also, this session will provideinsight into the dynamics of the plaintiff’s room inresponse to mediation moves and tactics.
REVISITING THE PLAINTIFF'S PLAYBOOKIn this session, we take another look at the Plaintiff’sPlaybook. We will discuss new theories of liability,heightened standard of care arguments, and damagesarguments such as foregoing claims for economic dam-ages in favor of non-economic damages only.
RUNNING THIN AT THE MARGINS: THEDRIVER SHORTAGE AND THE RISKSINVOLVED IN HIRING MARGINALLYQUALIFIED DRIVERSTrucking is a notoriously tough business with sometimesthin profit margins. One of the issues affecting thosemargins is the current driver shortage. Our panelists willassess how the absence of highly qualified drivers com-pels companies to hire marginally qualified drivers,which leads to a whole host of increased liability risks.

PRIVACY & SECURITYCOMPLIANCE: THE GOOD,THE BAD, AND THE UGLYHas the mentality of “it will never happen to me” been arealistic approach to security compliance for companies,big and small? Could your company be in legal hot waterfor simply over-promising on the security of customerdata? This discussion will delve into the various laws,regulatory actions, penalties and unfair and deceptivetrade practices that you may not have even realized werelurking. Join us as we consider the nuts and bolts of pri-vacy compliance learned from a range of real-life experi-ences.
INFORMATION ANDSECURITY BEST PRACTICESUnderstanding the way "best practice" is used (or mis-used) in the information security context, and the basisfor those conclusions, is critical to assessing the truevalue of any practice to your organization. This presen-tation will take a broader view of security and informa-tion management, including risk management of yourthird party vendors and contracts your company has, toexamine commonly recommended "best practices" asso-ciated with information security. Join us to help youunderstand what are truly “best” practices.
PLANNING YOUR BREACHRESPONSE AND CYBERINSURANCE CLAIM:IT STARTS TODAYA company’s greatest data or cybersecurity threat maynot be some anonymous outsider—it could be yournewest or most senior employee. Yet, companies maydirect the bulk of their cybersecurity efforts at IT sys-tems and information management, instead of employeetraining and discipline. Using real world examples, thispresentation will focus on why a breach response — andcyber insurance — can help you sleep better at night.
NEW TECHNOLOGIES –IOT, BLOCKCHAIN, 5GW,AI: THE BENEFITS AND PITFALLSAdvancements in technology are driving improved cus-tomer experiences and corporate efficiency in every sec-tor of the economy. From blockchain and smartcontracts, to artificial intelligence and data driven deci-sion making, to innovative commercial applications ofthe Internet of Things (IoT), companies and law depart-ments need to balance the risk of using new technologyyou may not fully understand with the risk of not usingthem. This panel will explore the legal, compliance andevidentiary issues behind the emerging and transforma-tive technologies impacting your industries. ss.
FRAUD, HACKERS AND SCAMS:THOSE WHO DO NOT LEARN FROMHISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT ITSocial-engineering — for instance, opening an emailattachment forwarded by your “customer” only to havemalware infect your system — is, today, commonplace.But how did we arrive in these cyber wars we see everyday and what is the next wave of hacks and scams? Thispresentation will provide a History 101 of frauds, hacksand scams perpetuated to date and consider what cyberthreats are on the horizon.
