Dear Friend,

Economics has become central to some of the most dynamic and consequential questions in today’s legal and regulatory landscape. Join practitioners across both fields for the inaugural NABE Econ + Law Summit, hosted with the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School in Washington, DC from January 25–27, 2026.

The first-of-its-kind summit promises three days packed with insights and connection at the intersection of the two fields. Alongside the program, the summit features structured networking, small-group discussions, and opportunities to connect with professionals who play key roles in litigation, enforcement, regulatory analysis, and market evaluation.

Session Spotlight

As technology reshapes workplaces, markets, and evidence itself, what does the legal system need most from economists? This session brings together leaders from law and economic consulting to explore how emerging technologies—from AI tools to algorithmic decision-making—are transforming the questions courts and regulators are asking.

Hear from Victoria Lipnic (Resolution Economics), Adam Klein (Outten & Golden LLP), and Jenny Yang (Outten & Golden LLP) as they discuss how economists can provide clarity in an era of rapid technological change. The panel will examine evolving needs around data analysis, expert testimony, and the economic frameworks that help judges and attorneys navigate tech-driven legal challenges.
