ZKB Partner to Moderate AAJ Seminar

The American Association for Justice has honored our firm, by asking one of our partners and drug litigation attorneys, Pamela A. Borgess, to act as moderator for their annual “Litigating Toxic Tort, Pharmaceutical and Medical Cases” Seminar to be held on September 24-25, 2009 in Las Vegas at the Palazzo Hotel. Ms. Borgess will also present an update on the ongoing litigation involving the tainted Chinese heparin that killed hundreds of Americans in 2007 and 2008.

This well-regarded seminar is attended by Plaintiff Attorneys from across the country, who come to get inside information on innovative trial techniques, strategies, and practices that leading attorneys have used to take on industry giants. Agenda highlights also include the latest updates on hot topics such as Hydroxycut, Paxil Birth Defects and Avandia; Electronic Discovery, and new topics such as "Facebook and Other Social Networking—What They'll Find Out About Your Client." Attendees will also learn how to access and maximize the necessary resources to go up against negligent companies.
