About the Program
We recently spoke with Lori-Ann Cohoe to learn a bit more about the program. Here’s what she had to say.
Q: What makes this program unique?
This program is somewhat unique in that the majority of the presenters are from rural areas. I believe this will assist smaller firms and sole practitioners who have to rely on themselves for all resources.”
Q: Can you tell me a bit about the topics and takeaways?
We are covering management issues and requirements for being a principal in addition to substantive areas of law (wills and estates, real estate, child welfare, child support, elder law, corporate director liability, personal bankruptcy). We will also get a visit from Justice Germain, which will be wonderful. Most papers will have checklists or precedents, and there will be PowerPoint presentations, which are always helpful for busy lawyers.
Review various topics, including how to manage both basic and complex Wills, Enduring Power of Attorneys, and Personal Directives; when to put your client in touch with a Trustee during a bankruptcy claim; how to successfully manage a legal practice while keeping in mind retirement and succession planning, work-in-progress, recruitment and training of new lawyers, compensation arrangements, and exit strategies; and much more.
