About This IAML AudioProSM Conference:
In the maturing world of complex wage and hour litigation, plaintiffs' class action lawyers are turning to increasingly sophisticated tactics. From identifying new types of class claims; soliciting greater numbers of class members; shopping for the most favorable forums and fending off challenges to class and conditional certification, competition for clients is becoming more and more aggressive.

This audio conference will analyze the latest developments in wage and hour litigation including the use of federal and state civil RICO laws, unfair business practices, as well as estoppel and time of payment claims. The presenter, Angelo Spinola, will address how plaintiffs' counsel are increasingly targeting entire industries, to include healthcare, financial services, insurance, and soliciting plaintiffs' third party vendors, the internet and other law firms. The session will also forecast future industry targets and provide participants with detailed recommendations for preventative measures they can take to reduce the risk of future wage and hour class litigation.
