CLE: Annual Ethics Seminar with Tom Spahn (Virtual)

VIRTUAL
$60 FBA Members | $90 Nonmembers | $40 Government
2 hours CLE credit pending

FBA-NOVA presents one of its most popular events: two hours of CLE ethics credit featuring the ethics expert, Tom Spahn.

This interactive program uses hypotheticals to explore the most basic question preceding any conflicts (and many other ethics and privilege) analyses: who is your client?

After discussing client identity when representing the government, partnerships, associations, insureds, estates and bond deal participants, the program focuses on client identity in the corporate context.  Among other things, the program addresses client identity within the corporate entity, within a corporate family, during corporate stock and asset sale transactions, and when dealing with corporate employees.
