When you’re in the middle of a high-stakes trial, the last thing you need to worry about is a technical glitch breaking your momentum. That’s why the WPTLA proudly stands behind our business partner, IPV Litigation Services.

IPV Litigation Services’ LitSuite-Certified trial technicians know courtroom presentation technology inside and out, ensuring your presentation shines flawlessly when everything goes right, and quietly troubleshooting under pressure when things inevitably go wrong. Keep your focus entirely on winning over the jury and leave the hot seat to the absolute pros.

Last night at Il Tetto proved that the best business relationships start with a good conversation, and apparently, a few Fireball shots! 😄

Business Partners Speed Networking Part 1 was a blast. Members got face time with our business partners, the food was incredible, and the energy in the room was unmatched.

Part 2 is coming August 12th — don't miss your chance to be in the room. Registration will open in July!!

Last week, our WPTLA members spent an evening giving back at Global Links, sorting and organizing medical supplies for communities in need 🌍💙

Global Links is a Pittsburgh nonprofit dedicated to improving health worldwide by redistributing surplus medical supplies, reducing waste while making a real impact.

Thank you to their amazing team for the warm welcome, education, and behind-the-scenes tour. We loved getting involved and supporting such an important mission!

The Western Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association took over Coop De Ville last night, and the verdict is unanimous: we had a blast! From the arcade to the lanes, we loved catching up outside of the office. Turns out our members are just as competitive at duckpin bowling as they are at trials.
Thanks to the Coop De Ville team for the hospitality. Until next time!
