2025 LCA Spring Retreat

LA FONDA ON THE PLAZA
Santa Fe, New Mexico

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

The 2025 LCA SPRING RETREAT will be held April 23-25, 2025, at La Fonda on the Plaza in beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico. This is a different kind of conference, with a greater emphasis on networking, in a more relaxed setting. There will not be a formal gala this time, so you can leave your tuxes and gowns at home, but rather a more casual atmosphere with our traditional advanced educational aspect. The retreat is designed for Fellows of the Litigation Counsel of America to enhance their already superior trial skills, to address practical issues and topics challenging litigators in today’s changing legal environment, and to afford each individual the opportunity to hear from and interact with North America’s finest trial and appellate lawyers.

Participants will be provided with advanced tools for continued success and expertise in trial techniques, evidence presentation, courtroom technology, case evaluations and marketing, as well as negotiations and alternative dispute resolution. The conference will give Fellows the opportunity to network with other distinguished attorneys from across North America, earn CLE credit and enjoy the beauty and charm of historic Santa Fe.
