Raymond Bradley addresses the Global Justice Forum in New York
Malcomson Law’s Managing Partner, Raymond Bradley, had the distinction of addressing the Global Justice Forum held at the Columbia Law School in New York in October.
The Global Justice Forum is a platform for leading lawyers to discuss legal issues in a global context. It has attracted over 200 lawyers from 30 countries since the first forum was held in London in 2005.
The New York Forum in October was called to address "Litigation in a Post-Economic Crisis World." The delegates debated whether the best way to achieve reform to deal with the economic meltdown was through regulation or litigation. Major issues discussed included cross-border financial fraud, antitrust litigation, and mass torts and class actions.
Raymond Bradley's talk addressed the inequality of Irish statute of limitation periods. More specifically he addressed the attitude of the Irish State towards catastrophic injury claims as well as discussing the lack of class claim structure in Ireland.
Among the speakers he shared the Forum stand with were the Dean of Columbia Law School, David E. Schizer, His Honour Judge Daniel Weinstein (Retired Superior Court Judge Cal.), Edward Lehman, Attorney at Law and Senior Partner at Lehman Lee & Xu China and fellow Irish representative Brian O'Reilly Senior Partner of B.P. O'Reilly & Co.
The event was co-sponsored by San Francisco-based firm Lieff Cabraser & Bernstein alongside Columbia Law School. Robert L. Lieff said "the idea is to form a network of lawyers working together, particularly on the plaintiffs' side.... It's just a fabulous way to exchange ideas and think about some of these complicated issues."
