Blank Rome partner Deborah Greenspan will serve as a panelist at Global Legal Group’s Global Class Actions Symposium 2026, being held November 10 through 11, 2026, in Madrid, Spain. Blank Rome is pleased to be a sponsor of the Symposium.

About the Symposium

Now in its seventh year, the 2026 event is set to continue on its trajectory to being bigger and better than ever before, reflecting the huge growth in class actions in the UK, the United States, the EU, and beyond, with two full days of stimulating discussion, debate and thought leadership. The changing face of legislation, access to justice and how claims are funded remain some of the hottest topics exercising the minds of class-actions stakeholders.
