August 1: The Corporate Transparency Act

In January of 2021, Congress passed the Corporate Transparency Act (‘CTA’), which requires many corporations, limited liability companies, and other entities created in or registered to do business in the United States to report information about their beneficial owners—the persons who ultimately own or control the company—to the Financial Crimes Information Network (‘FinCEN’). 

The purpose? To prevent the illicit use of the corporate form to shield money launderers, drug traffickers, terrorists, and other bad actors. 

Pursuant to FinCEN implementing regulations, the Act now requires newly formed qualifying entities to report their beneficial ownership, and existing entities to evaluate whether they qualify and if so, prepare to file in January of 2025. 

This CLE will review the CTA and provide a primer on what constitutes a ‘reporting company’ under the Act for purposes of triggering reporting requirements. It will then discuss the requirements for identifying beneficial owners, note compliance dates, and summarize the information that must be reported. Along the way, attendees will also learn about resources supporting relevant workflow. Attendees will obtain an introduction to the key requirements of the Corporate Transparency Act, including: 

• How to identify whether an entity qualifies as a ‘reporting company’ and thereby must report beneficial ownership information; 

• How to evaluate which individuals qualify as beneficial owners of a reporting company; 

• What information must be included in the report, and key effective dates and filing deadlines; and 

• Penalties for non-compliance.

Moreover, attendees will also learn best practices for learning more on specific CTA-related topics through available research resources.

October 24: Evaluating & Estimating Water Damage Restoration and Mold Claims Webinar

"Evaluating & Estimating Water Damage Restoration and Mold Claims" is intended to help claims professionals understand water intrusion investigations, mold management, and estimating the costs of restoration. We handle a surprising number of these claims-gone-bad through the litigation process
Investigating building leaks is a well-developed profession with its own collection of professional consensus standards governing best practices, and we will explain them.
While mold is not weapons-grade plutonium, it is a health concern for immunocompromised people, and when found in the built environment it means there is a moisture problem that needs to be professionally diagnosed, solved, and remediated. There are professional standards for making sure mold does not grow when water has suddenly been introduced into a building, and for remediation when it's found.
Cost estimating is a profession with specialized skills, training, education, and certifications; but it’s not rocket science. There is some math, so it’s scary to a lot of people. There are many moving parts to a remediation estimate, including one from Xactimate, but the idea is simple: What does it take to restore the building? We will explain all of this as simply and clearly as possible.
Learning Objectives

• Review the process of investigating water intrusion claims
• Explain the dangers of mold and how they can be avoided
• Understand the process of estimating restoration costs
• Learn about evaluating cost estimates from other parties
• Discuss the power and dangers of Xactimate
• Examine Case Studies.

September 27: Breached! Cybersecurity 101

With data security incidents and data breaches happening daily, it’s important for attorneys to turn towards one reality—it’s NOT IF a breach or incident will occur—it’s WHEN. 

These incidents are forcing government agencies, companies, law firms, etc. to address, define, and handle these challenges.

During this 60-minute CLE session, we will cover 

(1) the latest security threats in the news and what’s being done to address/remedy them, 

(2) explore current data breach laws, 

(3) the roles and responsibilities of government agencies, and 

(4) how to prepare a data breach avoidance plan as well as a data breach response plan. 

After completing this course, you will be able to: 

• Know the latest cybersecurity threats the U.S. is facing; 
• understand the different roles and responsibilities of various agencies; 
• what the legal framework surrounding data breaches look like? 
• How both government entities and companies across the globe have been impacted by cyber breaches;

December 19: Expert Expectations: Avoiding Regrets by Defining What Good Performance Looks Like Webinar

"Expert Expectations: Avoiding Regrets by Defining What Good Performance Looks Like" is for everyone who works in the whacky world of litigation, especially the construction litigation business. We are going to have a 60-minute conversation with industry experts from the legal, insurance, and expert witness community. Our esteemed panel will discuss a list of qualities that good experts embody and why those qualities are important.
An Expert Witness is "a person who is permitted to testify at a trial because of special knowledge or proficiency in a particular field that is relevant to the case." All experts obviously need the minimum qualifications to be allowed to testify. But good experts systematically investigate, think, write, and present at a level of professionalism that makes everyone they deal with think "That expert is smart, has their act together, and that assignment is safe in their hands."
Expert investigations require curiosity, a scientific approach, and supporting documentation that is good enough to be considered "forensic." Lawyerly thinking requires knowledge of the law, legal procedure, and strategic thinking. Journalistic writing requires translating technical speak into plain language that everyone can understand so they can make informed decisions. Presenting like Walter Cronkite means being honest, trustworthy, and prepared when the time to perform arrives.
Learning Objectives

• Introduce a list of qualities that good experts embody.
• Articulate our values related to our expert witness work.
• Explain why investigating like Sherlock Holmes is important.
• Describe aspects of thinking like a lawyer for experts. Explore the idea that investigative and explanatory journalism skills are helpful for experts. Show how powerful presenting like Walter Cronkite can be.

July 17: Conflicts, Contracts & Costs: Tuning Up Your Office Systems, Client Relationships & Operating Documents

The modern office, post-Covid, operates quite differently, yet a lawyer’s actions are still subject to the Rules of Ethics. Practice remotely presents new challenges in the areas of conflicts of interest, fiduciary duty, confidentiality, and financial arrangements. Moreover, using social media platforms gives the practicing lawyer additional responsibilities to instruct clients on privacy and evidentiary retention. In this interesting examination of modern law practice, we will explore these operations and ethical duties in detail.

July 16: Labor & Employment Law for In-House Counsel: Top 10 Wage & Hour Mistakes for Employers

Wage and hour claims have seen a steady increase in the past several years thanks to aggressive plaintiffs’ lawyers and zealous government agencies. Few types of litigation present stakes as high as wage and hour matters, as these claims are frequently raised on a class-wide basis and can provide for damages, penalties, and attorneys’ fees. Add on top constantly shifting laws and regulations at all levels, and there is enough to keep even the most seasoned in-house counsel on the edge of their seat.

 Join us on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 at 12pm ET / 9 am PT for the next edition of our IHC Employment Law Series as Steven Nevolis and Amanda Fugazy of Ellenoff, Grossman & Schole LLP will discuss share tips and tricks on how to best avoid these claims before they happen. 

You’ll walk away from this presentation with a checklist to ensure your organization remains in compliance with these thorny laws, such as:

• Best use of time-clock procedures;
• An overview of the overtime exempt salary thresholds;
• Implementation of policies and practices;
• Using appropriate documentation to your advantage.

This program is designed for all levels of in-house counsel who manage employment law matters or set employment law policies for their organization.

September 10: Revolutionizing Legal Settlements: How Science is Changing Emotional Distress Compensation

EVENT CANCELLED

In today’s complex legal landscape, accurately evaluating mental anguish and emotional distress is essential. This talk will delve into scientific methodologies for assessing emotional suffering, focusing on the Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY) metric.

Key topics include defining mental anguish, overcoming subjective evaluation challenges, and seamlessly integrating quantitative and qualitative data. Through compelling real-world examples and case studies, attendees will see these concepts in action. 

For lawyers, this approach translates to more precise, objective, and defensible evaluations of mental distress, ensuring fairer outcomes in court. By adopting QALY, legal professionals can argue for just compensation with greater authority and confidence.
