Shook Partners Take Leadership Roles at GICLI Conference

Seven highly respected Shook partners and litigators will participate at the 10th annual Government Investigations & Civil Litigation Institute (GICLI) conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, November 19-21. Patrick Oot, who co-leads Shook’s Complex Litigation and Strategic Council Practice, is a co-founder of GICLI and organizer of the event. GICLI has become the nation’s leading educational program at the intersection of government investigations and civil litigation. 

On the opening day, Partner John Barkett will provide a, “Supreme Court Update.” Partner Bill Corrigan, a former Missouri deputy attorney general, will examine, along with others, priorities of the Offices of the U.S. Attorneys, “USAO Update.” Partner Jennifer Stevenson will moderate a panel on pre-trial case management orders, “PTO & CMO: Effective Negotiation Strategies.”

The following day, Shook Partners Eric Anielak, Phil Goldberg and Thomas Sheehan will present on a variety of litigation topics. Anielak will speak on, “New Theories of Liability in Complex Litigation.”  Goldberg will cover, “The Courts of Last Resort: Liability Trends and Coalition Building in State Supreme Courts.” Sheehan will address handling “Experts.”

The conference includes an impressive array of state and national legal leaders including former United States Attorney General William Barr and former United States Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

“The presence of former U.S. Attorneys General Rosenstein and Barr at this year’s event is a testament to the hard work the planning committee has put in to developing this special program and why the country’s top practitioners seek out GICLI programming and content every year,” said Oot from his Washington, D.C. office.
