Effective due diligence investigations contribute to informed decision making by enhancing the amount and quality of information available to decision makers and by ensuring that this information is systematically used to make the best choices based on cost, benefit, and risk.
In this free Continuing Legal Education (CLE) program you will learn about the purpose, legal requirements and recent developments for due diligence and hear about organizational strategies to strengthen due diligence efforts and mitigate financial or operational risk.
After completing this course, you will be able to:

August 14: Long Beach, CA - Tax Debt Control

Getting into trouble with the IRS, unfortunately, is far too easy. Easy steps toward trouble include ignoring notices - not opening mail, not investigating and hoping and praying that IRS problems will disappear. The IRS can ruin your life. Creditors can ruin your life.

Tax Debt resolution suffers from a combination of infrastructure division and the resulting lack of awareness of how the two main tax debt relief mechanisms interact with each other. A thoughtful, comprehensive approach could compensate for this problem.

The taxpayer cannot make an informed decision without effectively understanding the tax debt system, the possible actions that can be taken, (including monitoring) and the possible result of taking a particular action. Avoidance of involvement in one's own tax accounts due to procrastinating the unpleasant can be overcome with knowledge and adoption of a rational, realistic approach.
We will examine some of the in-depth options available to the taxpayer.

July 19: Final Conscience Regulation: Does the New HHS Rule Promote Injustice?

On May 2, 2019, The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued the final version of its conscience rule. This updated rule purports to authorize individual healthcare workers and institutions to refuse to provide certain services by citing a religious or conscience objection.
Such leeway may have serious implications for patients, especially for women, LGBT people, and those seeking end-of-life care. Some view the rule as consistent with the Administration’s promise to promote religious interests. Others fear the harmful effects of allowing individual workers at healthcare facilities to deny critical and sometimes life-saving care to patients.
What are the legal implications? Join us on Friday, July 19, 2019 at 1:00 PM PM EST to engage in this captivating and informative conversation with Susan Berke Fogel and Richard Katskee.

September 5/NYC: Curbing Cars: A Transatlantic Dialogue on New Urban Mobility

Cities’ reliance on motor vehicles imposes myriad public health and environmental challenges. In New York City, for example, officials estimate that fine particulate matter pollution from motor vehicles contributes to 320 premature deaths in New York City each year, which is approximately the same number as die from homicide. In Germany, the situation is not much better. In fact, approximately 70 German cities violated EU air quality standards for nitrogen dioxide emissions last year and automobiles have been largely blamed for the problem. To remedy the situation, policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic are experimenting with a range of strategies — from bans on diesel engines, to congestion pricing schemes — to encourage new forms of urban mobility. Yet they are encountering a series of obstacles along the way. At this upcoming event, experts from Germany and New York City will discuss options for lessening cars’ grip on transportation and challenges that lie ahead.

July 18: Not So Obvious: Secondary Considerations at the PTAB

Objective evidence of non-obviousness can overcome a prima facie case of obviousness, both in district court litigation and at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. These "secondary considerations" are an important tool that patent owners can use to defeat obviousness challenges. Historically, the PTAB has not often been persuaded by such evidence. But in recent years, patent owners have found some success when presenting compelling objective evidence of commercial success, copying, long-felt need, and other secondary considerations.

• During this webinar, our presenters will discuss the following:
• Developing trends at the PTAB concerning secondary considerations
• How to insulate your petition from secondary considerations
• Best practices for patent owners developing evidence related to secondary considerations

• Understanding the history of marijuana use
• Understanding the current legal framework surrounding marijuana and its potential volatility
