Becca Furman is our Latest Featured Speaker!

Our latest featured speaker is Becca Furman of Lewis & Llewellyn LLP!

Becca is teaching Motions for Summary Judgment at our upcoming 19th Annual Superior Court Boot Camp: The Nuts and Bolts program in two weeks, on September 24 & 26, 2024 (Becca is co-teaching on September 26th).

This dynamic and information-packed program teaches attorneys all about litigating in California State Court. It also teaches attorneys what they need to know to be a successful litigator in any court. The program covers a case in state court from the start until right before trial (we now have a separate Trial Training program in the works for February of 2025). Topics include everything from developing case themes, to CMCs, complex case scheduling, discovery, depos, and motions moving on through to pre-trial tasks.

You can sign up to attend live or pre-order OnDemand Streaming or a recorded package here.  If you can’t wait for the program later this month, you can purchase OnDemand Streaming or a recorded package download of last year’s program at this link: 18th Annual Superior Court Boot Camp: The Nuts and Bolts.

Becca spoke at this program back in 2022 to rave reviews and we are thrilled to have her speak again.

Becca Furman is a litigator who regularly represents clients in complex breach of contract, trade secret, and privacy disputes.

Becca understands the importance of aggressive litigation and always litigates with an eye toward trial.  Her trial experience includes defending a company against breach of contract, trade secret misappropriation, and CFAA/CDAFA claims in a multi-million-dollar federal trial.  Becca also litigated a two-month jury trial against a local school district involving the sexual assault of multiple students at the hands of their teacher.  The case resulted in a successful post-trial settlement.

Becca underpins her trial advocacy with pragmatic litigation strategy, and regularly obtains successful settlements on behalf of her clients that avoid the cost of trial.   As just one recent example, Lewis & Llewellyn LLP obtained a settlement of .75 million for a sexual assault victim.  Becca has negotiated multiple settlements involving Bay Area start-ups, allowing the parties to move on from the potentially business-ending expense of litigation.  She also regularly negotiates on behalf of individuals accused of trade secret theft after leaving a company.

Becca has been named a Super Lawyers Rising Star every year since 2016. Becca serves as a member of the Bar Association of San Francisco’s Barristers Board of Directors and formerly served on the Associate Board of Girls of the Run of the Bay Area, an after-school nonprofit that teaches elementary school girls life skills and confidence through a running-based curriculum.

We are so glad to have you join us again Becca! Welcome back.
