48th Annual Torts Update 2025

Rapid-fire updates. Reliable sources.

After a contractor drained a backyard pool on saturated soil, the fiberglass shell cracked and lifted out of the ground, causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage. The homeowner sued, only to learn the contractor operated through a single-member LLC. The defense? That LLC status shielded the member-owner from liability. Under what circumstances can LLC owners or members be held personally liable for tortious conduct?

Get answers to that question and more at the 48th Annual Torts Update. This fast-paced, half-day program delivers practical insights from experienced litigators in concise, focused sessions—without the fluff. Whether you’re advising clients on medical malpractice, underinsured motorist coverage, or construction defects, this year’s topics are handpicked to help you respond confidently to the next issue that crosses your desk.
