We were sponsors of Benchmark’s 4^th Annual Women in Litigation Forum, a conference which combines the most recent litigation topics and panels on developing leadership and career building skills. These topics included new California labor and employment laws, trends in IP litigation, managing complex litigation, creating great legal workplaces and what makes great litigators, protection of data, GDPR, privacy concerns, and smashing the glass ceiling.

This conference creates a conducive environment for practical advice and support from in-house experiences, while also showcasing the skills and depth of knowledge from women with legal expertise. Elaine Lee and Nayirie Kuyumjian spoke on the opening panel for the conference alongside panelists from Google and Cadence Design Systems.
