2019 Keynote Speaker:

Aaron Lukken, the "Chief Sherpa" at Viking Advocates and author of the Hague Law Blog, partners with a network of attorneys and agents around the world to assist lawyers and law firms across North America in navigating cross-border litigation. Aaron’s two overriding reasons for doing what he does: (1) protecting his clients, and (2) making the practice of law more efficient and accurate. He does that by providing transnational litigation support, which is a fancy way of saying that he handles the issues in litigation that crosses borders-- obscure issues, common issues, boring issues, frustrating issues… in any case, issues lawyers don’t come across very often and might rather hand off to somebody else.

A J.D. graduate of the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Aaron lives and works not far from his alma mater. He and his wife, Peggy, operate a joint civil mediation practice, Cottage Mediation Services, LLC.
