Law firm owners are increasingly exposed to aggressive tax strategies marketed as “planning,” yet many do not fully understand where legitimate tax minimization ends and tax fraud or abusive schemes begin. This program provides a practical, risk-aware overview of tax fraud concepts and the IRS’s annual “Dirty Dozen,” with a focus on strategies that commonly impact high-income professionals and law firm owners. Attendees will learn how to distinguish defensible tax planning from improper or abusive arrangements, identify common red flags used by tax promoters, and understand the potential financial, legal, and ethical consequences of getting it wrong. The program emphasizes judgment, decision-making, and risk management to help participants evaluate tax advice more effectively before taking action.

Most associates wait years before they're "allowed" to network or generate business. This is backwards. The lawyers who build sustainable practices start building relationships from day one—not when they make partner. In this interactive webinar, attorney and practice growth expert Jay Ruane will teach associates the exact systems he used to build a practice through consistent relationship-based marketing. Attendees will learn low-cost, high-impact strategies they can implement immediately—without waiting for permission, without a marketing budget, and without becoming someone they're not. This is not theory. This is a tactical playbook for associates who want to take control of their career trajectory starting Monday morning.
