CLE ensures that attorneys remain current with the latest legal developments and maintain their competence in practice. This event not only offers a chance to fulfill CLE requirements but also provides a platform for networking, allowing attorneys to connect with peers, discuss professional challenges, and explore collaborative opportunities.
The seminar will kick off with a cocktail party at Cuba Libre on Thursday evening, offering a relaxed setting for early networking. The main seminar sessions, accompanied by a light lunch, will take place on Friday afternoon, followed by a closing dinner with a cocktail hour at Carmine’s, providing further opportunities for attendees to engage with one another and the speakers.
