January 23: What Plan Sponsors and IRA Owners Need to Know About the SECURE Act

2019 ended with a bang for stakeholders of retirement plans with the passage of the SECURE Act, a major piece of federal legislation that will alter the retirement plan landscape for years to come. Signed into law as part of a $1.4 trillion bipartisan spending bill on December 20, the SECURE Act (the full name is the “Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019”) contains a wide-ranging assortment of provisions designed to expand access to retirement savings for small businesses and part-time employees, promote the availability of annuities in defined contribution plans, and simplify or repeal many complexities and quirks in various existing administrative and plan design rules. It funds these tax expenditures in large part by eliminating the popular use of the “Stretch IRA” as a means of tax-efficient intergenerational wealth transfer.
Join our panelists as they discuss the SECURE Act’s broad and diverse amendments to the Internal Revenue Code and ERISA, and the opportunities and compliance challenges it presents for plan sponsors and IRA owners in 2020 and beyond.

January 29, 2020 / Orange, CA / - Tax Valuation Ethics Studies

This two-hour ethics course explores valuation ethics and cases. A power-point presentation is backed up by an outline and a complete 10-case file for reference. The presentation implies a possibility that IRS finds that valuation practitioner discipline may be less efficient than various practitioner penalty provisions, and the use of taxpayer punitive economic consequences. An implied larger problem is a short sighted appraiser selection criteria that results in (a) minimalist appraisal, by (b) unqualified or low-effort appraisers; much of which may be based upon taxpayer reluctance to ascribe value to a detailed, high-quality appraisal.  The case facts teach lessons through the stories of published cases.

Course Objectives:

• Identify current principles in play for a potential winning appraisal while determining a strategy to avoiding both ethics entanglement and a more negative taxpayer outcome.
• Personally derive a feel for what is needed to protect the taxpayer, the tax practitioner and the appraiser, and conclude whether or not the weight of a misstep is squarely on the taxpayer.


• Identify a path to a more efficient arrangement for obtaining a high quality appraisal report and appraiser; the taxpayer and/or tax practitioner then understands and enables a maximized opportunity to determine taxpayer's own efficient, detail justifiable, highest taxpayer outcome preparation.

January 9, 14+23: Breached! An Inside Look At Cybersecurity For Law Firms

With data security incidents and data breaches happening daily, it’s important for the legal world to turn its judges, attorneys, support staff, and interns towards one reality—it’s NOT IF a breach or incident will occur—it’s WHEN. These incidents are forcing courts and lawmakers to address, define, and handle these new challenges—often presenting a “case of first impression.” However, as technology continues to advance and evolve, so do our professional legal requirements with respect to upholding our duties in advising and zealously advocating for our clients, while also tackling the burden of data security itself.
This free Continuing Legal Education (CLE) session covers:

1. The latest security threats in the news and what’s being done to address/remedy them,
2. Current data breach laws, 
3. How a lawyer’s professional duty may extend into new areas of technology and cyberspace, and
