I look forward to renewing friendships at the Forum every year and continuing many of them while working on cases together in the interim months.”
Doug R. Young Farella Braun + Martel LLP San Francisco, CA"This is easily the most substantive conference for white collar lawyers. The most troubling and in-depth cutting-edge issues are discussed by a roundtable of recognized practitioners from around the country. War stories are kept to a minimum; questions are debated; tips and insights are shared."

They are all at the top of their profession on the cutting edge of developments and overflowing with experience and insight. They trust each other, help each other, inform each other and share their secrets. It is a professional as well as a personal privilege to be included in this group."
Greg Craig Former White House Counsel Washington, D.C."The learning experience is invaluable. So much more than a CLE. It is totally interactive and conversational at a high level, but, most important is the camaraderie and new friends I've made."
