The Family Law Track

Presented by the Family Law Section

About the Program

This seminar will focus on other areas of the law that may come into play in your dissolution action and how to properly prepare for them and avoid potential malpractice. The areas that will be addressed in this CLE will be: Trusts and Estate, Criminal Law, Tax Issues, and Bankruptcy.

It is important for practitioners to easily identify when an outside issue arises and how to appropriately handle it. Many times, practitioners do not understand other areas of the law and how they could in fact impact a family law order or agreement. We will have practitioners from other areas of the law to discuss how best to handle a situation that may arise and when to bring in outside counsel, as an expert, to consult with, or for representation in a separate proceeding.

You Will Learn

About different practice areas and when to seek outside counsel to avoid malpractice

Who Should Attend

Any family law practitioner who handles dissolution matters, especially when they intersect with other areas of the law.
