Phillips & Associates Sets Date for 2027 National Plaintiffs' Summit on Sexual Harassment & Employment Discrimination

The premier forum for plaintiff-side employment attorneys returns March 14 to 16, 2027, at the Andaz Miami Beach Resort & Spa, following a standout 2026 event that drew dozens of the nation's top plaintiff-side litigators.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Phillips & Associates, PLLC, one of the largest plaintiff-side employment law firms representing employees exclusively across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida, today announced that the National Plaintiffs' Summit on Sexual Harassment & Employment Discrimination will return March 14 to 16, 2027, at the Andaz Miami Beach Resort & Spa.

The Summit was founded by William K. Phillips, Managing Partner of Phillips & Associates and founder of HarassmentHelp.org and the Not in the Newsletter Podcast, with Vanessa Keys, Chief Operating Officer of Phillips & Associates, playing a key role in its development and launch. Brittany A. Stevens, Partner at Phillips & Associates, serves as Co-Chair. The Summit brings together plaintiff-side employment attorneys from across the country for intensive, practice-focused sessions on litigation strategy, damages modeling, digital evidence, workplace investigations, and the evolving issues shaping plaintiff-side employment law.

William K. Phillips said, "The success of the 2026 National Plaintiffs' Summit came from bringing together outstanding plaintiffs' employment lawyers who were willing to speak candidly, share practical strategies, and learn from one another. It was not simply another legal conference. It strengthened a community of attorneys who represent employees in workplace sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation cases and who are committed to holding powerful defendants accountable." He continued, "Sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation in the workplace are not going away. This collaboration matters because people come to us during some of the most difficult times in their lives. Their careers are at stake, they are often suffering emotionally, and they may feel powerless against a large employer or corporation. We must do everything we can to make them feel heard, supported, and confident that they have experienced advocates fighting for them."

A Standout 2026 Summit

The 2026 Summit, held at the Eden Roc Miami Beach, brought together dozens of the nation's most accomplished plaintiff-side employment litigators for two days of intensive, highly interactive strategy sessions, including live damages modeling with real-time liability and risk analysis, trauma-informed litigation techniques, the latest retaliation law developments across federal and state jurisdictions, and responsible AI applications in intake, discovery, and case building. Past featured speakers have included Cathleen Scott of Scott Law Team, Toni J. Jaramilla, Christina Cheung of Allred, Maroko & Goldberg, and Kelly O'Connell of O'Connell Law, PLLC, drawing attorneys from 15 jurisdictions.

As Christina Cheung of Allred, Maroko & Goldberg has said of the Summit, "The fact that the National Plaintiff Summit is specifically about sexual harassment and retaliation cases means you really have a level of expertise here, and a level of understanding of how these cases work, that makes this conference distinct from other conferences."

What to Expect in 2027

In 2027, attendees can expect practical, high-level programming on building and litigating stronger sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation cases, creating leverage, negotiating better outcomes for clients, and successfully managing and growing a plaintiffs' employment law firm. Just as importantly, the Summit will provide more opportunities to exchange ideas and build lasting relationships with leading plaintiffs' employment lawyers from across the country.
