Leslie Schafer – Panel Chair at PerfectLaw Global Class Actions and Mass Torts Conference

Econ One Managing Director Leslie Schafer, Ph.D. to Chair Panel at Global Class Actions and Mass Torts Conference in London

April 2025 — Econ One is proud to announce that Managing Director Leslie SchaferĀ will serve as Chair of an antitrust panel at the PerfectLaw Global Class Actions and Mass Torts Conference, taking place this week at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel in London.

Leslie will lead a distinguished panel of judges, lawyers, and economic experts on Friday, April 25 at 9:15 AM GMT, moderating a session titled: ā€œThe Ambits of Competition Enforcement by Collective Actionsā€

This timely and insightful discussion will cover three antitrust topics:
– Certification in collective actions
– Causation & Economic Evidence: What do you have to prove and how do economic experts help you?
– Disclosure & how discovery is managed before and after certification

The Global Class Actions and Mass Torts Conference brings together legal professionals, economists, and academics from around the world to explore developments in litigation strategy, procedural frameworks, and the role of expert analysis.

Econ One is honored to be part of this international dialogue on antitrust and collective action enforcement.
