For many food and beverage companies doing business in California, the receipt of a demand letter or filing of a class action lawsuit alleging false advertising claims under the state’s CLRA, UCL, and/or FAL is an all too familiar occurrence. In federal court, pleadings challenges often present a first line of defense to meritless false advertising claims. The Ninth Circuit’s recent decision in McGinity v. The Procter & Gamble Company marks a distinct change in the way these challenges may be evaluated by district courts going forward.

Join Sheppard Mullin for a discussion of:

• Recent developments in the Ninth Circuit relating to false advertising class action cases brought under California’s consumer protection statutes
• The impact of these recent developments on district court decisions at the pleadings stage
• Related litigation strategies and lessons learned for companies marketing packaged products to consumers in California

Sheppard Mullin, Bernstein Private Wealth Management and Health Management Associates will host an evening of contemporary art, craft cocktails and delicious hors d'oeuvres in conjunction with the 2024 JP Morgan Healthcare Conference.

Attendees will enjoy an exclusive look at the latest exhibition by Ana Leovy, a Mexican artist who mainly works with oils, color pencils and gouache. Ana is passionate about celebrating diversity through her work, weaving stories through shapes and colors, inspired by feelings, dreams and everyday life. Ana's art intends to represent strong, confident characters living in vibrant worlds which are often a fusion between real life and her imagination. She plays with the disruption of the human form to reveal her view on both internal and external beauty.

This program revolves around a three-day mock FCA trial, from voir dire through jury deliberations, which attendees will observe live and via video. Attendees will be able to discuss the trial with the attorneys, jury consultants and mock jurors. The award-winning False Claims Act Mock Trial Institute will once again feature a three-day mock jury trial, in which experienced False Claims Act lawyers from the government, relators' and defense bar will try a health care fraud case to a jury, before a sitting judge, in a federal courthouse. A hallmark of this innovative program is the streamed jury deliberations. As the number of False Claims Act cases filed continues to rise, the number of tried cases also increases. The Institute will focus on the unique, and often little understood, discovery, evidentiary and trial challenges that the parties must negotiate to successfully litigate and try a False Claims Act case.

This presentation will discuss the recent surge in class actions challenging companies’ practices for collecting and sharing consumer data collected from websites and mobile applications including claims brought under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, California Invasion of Privacy Act and Video Privacy Protection Act.
