Asset protection is an often misunderstood and confusing topic, mostly due to the enormous amount of misinformation on the topic found on the internet. But true asset protection can be legitimately implemented if you understand the legal rules.

Join Attorney Kevin Eismann as he shares common myths and truths about proper asset protection methods:

• Using life insurance, annuities and qualified investments as exempt assets;
• Protecting the value of your estate;
• Shielding 2^nd homes, cottages and hunting land;
• Limiting business asset exposure;
• Limiting personal liability.

This is a Complimentary 3-Credit CLE 

As economic forces drive corporations to more aggressively control legal costs, both commercial leaders and general counsels are carefully considering how to manage their legal portfolio through a combination of (a) reducing litigation, commercial and employee related risks before a controversy arises, and (b) managing outside counsel to drive efficiencies, either through billing arrangement or the use of metrics and billing arrangements, to manage those controversies when they do arise.

Sophisticated corporations are actively working to integrate their inside and outside counsel into their commercial processes, by embracing the in-house legal function and integrating legal resources into their commercial teams, as well as monitoring outside counsel, including requiring budgets and status reports on a regular basis – in addition to demanding bespoke billing arrangements and discounts.

Listen as our panel of attorneys – who have both in-house and outside counsel experience – as well as former HR professionals, offer strategies and best practices for driving profits to your bottom line by effectively reducing risk and selecting and working effectively with outside counsel.

Who should attend:

• Attorneys
• Business Owners
• Business Executives

Happy hour to follow.
