What does it mean to qualify to do business in a foreign state, and is it something your company needs to do? What are the legal ramifications if you don’t qualify? If you’re a corporate attorney, are you prepared to advise clients on the matter?
Not all business activities constitute you doing business in a foreign state, but there are times that failure to qualify can leave your company facing negative consequences.
Join CSC for a complimentary CLE webinar by Frank Ballantine and Beth Lyden of Dykema Gossett PLLC, on state foreign qualifications, recent case law, and critical principles of conducting business outside your state.
The webinar will bring to life Qualifying to Do Business in Another State: The CSC 50-State Guide to Qualification. You’ll have the opportunity to ask presenters about formations and qualification guidelines as they review their impact on your business, and what you can do to protect yourself. We’ll also touch on some common CSC customer qualification questions.
Who should attend:
Corporate counsel
Outside counsel
Corporate paralegals and others involved in corporate compliance
Learning objectives:
Attendees will leave the program with a better understanding of corporate activities that generally do not require qualification and corporate activities that do require qualification. We’ll review the process of evaluating if a business is impacted and needs to qualify in another state, or if it meets a general exception. Attendees can expect a review of online and eCommerce activities that do or do not generally require qualification. Attendees will also leave with a better understanding of how corporations can cure failures or terminate qualification if necessary.
