Not-for-profit entities engage in various income generating activities, and most of these income streams are tax-exempt because they are earned while advancing an organization’s charitable mission. However, income generated from activities outside a nonprofit’s tax-exempt purpose may be subject to unrelated business income tax (UBIT). Revenue subject to UBIT can become quite costly to a tax-exempt organization, especially those that fail to accurately report the UBIT. This CLE webcast will provide not-for-profit organizations and attorneys who represent them or serve on their boards a foundational understanding of UBIT rules and strategies to mitigate UBIT risk.

Navigating the balance between estate tax avoidance and preserving basis step-up can be challenging with traditional estate planning tools. Preferred partnerships offer a solution by allowing the estate tax value to be frozen, enabling senior family members to retain income, and transferring growth to the next generation—all while preserving basis step-up for the frozen value. Additionally, equity strips can subject real estate to estate tax at the net value, with the gross value receiving a basis step-up. Register for this course and learn cleaner, more advantageous ways to meet client goals.

Perhaps taking the principle of “zealous advocacy” too literally, some attorneys exude hostility and employ bully tactics to gain a perceived advantage. Whether you are working in a transactional setting or in a court of law, the other party’s counsel can be a thorn in your side. They may fail to promptly respond to correspondence or return your calls on matters of urgency. They may be deceitful, obstructive, condescending, or inappropriate, crossing both ethical and professional lines. You owe it to your clients and to yourself to maintain composure while being an effective advocate for your clients. This practical program on dealing with difficult counsel will provide guidance for effectively handling challenging behaviors and personalities.

The U.S. EPA has been busy this spring releasing a number of significant final rules utilizing the CERCLA and RCRA statutes to curb the impact of PFAS. Most significantly, in early July, the final rule designating PFOA and PFOS as “hazardous substances” under the CERCLA will go into effect. As the first time the EPA has directly designated any substance as a hazardous substance under its CERCLA 102(a) authority, it is expected to have immediate and significant impacts across industries and provide the EPA with additional data on PFAS through increased reporting and information gathering authorities, address and clean up PFAS contamination, and shift costs for addressing releases to private parties. In addition, -The EPA simultaneously issued a policy outlining how it would use its CERCLA enforcement discretion and settlement authority to shield those entities as much as possible from CERCLA liability. - Nine particular PFAS compounds have also been proposed as hazardous constituents under RCRA with the hope of addressing PFAS contamination under the RCRA cleanup program. - Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for PFAS were set under the Safe Drinking Water Act, giving public water systems three years to comply with monitoring requirements and then begin reporting the results. These final rules, in addition to ongoing enforcement actions, clean ups, and related litigation in this space, as well as the Supreme Court's end-of-term decisions in the Loper Bright/Relentless, Corner Post, and Jarkesy cases makes for a lot of change. Join us for an in-depth discussion and practical insights on these significant developments from leading experts in the field.

Even the best partnerships experience unforeseen challenges, such as economic downturns, regulatory uncertainty, and supply chain disruptions. Beyond that, how will your client’s business fare in the face of predictable events such as death, divorce, disability, or retirement of one or more partners? A strong buy-sell agreement will help your client weather these transition storms which can impact any business, large or small. The problem is that most attorneys either aren’t equipped to handle such a situation and don’t know how to draft a thorough buy-sell agreement. Among other issues, they fail to provide clear terms, address common occurrences that are often overlooked, contain a proper valuation formula, or contemplate any possible adjustments to account for an economic shift of the client’s business, all of which are necessary to ensure a smooth ownership transition. Don’t let your client’s pending transition turn into a business nightmare. Learn what to do—and what not to do—in drafting a solid buy-sell agreement.

One of the most stringent ethical duties placed upon lawyers is safeguarding fiduciary funds. Inadvertent or negligent mishandling of a client’s money can have dire consequences, even leading to disbarment. In most jurisdictions, advance fees are treated as trust funds, and a fee dispute may be treated as an ethical violation in some circumstances. To avoid potentially mishandling client funds, it is crucial to consistently utilize strict accounting practices and analyze appropriate trust fund procedures. This webcast will cover the stringent and complex rules governing client trust account operation and maintenance, and will include practical suggestions to avoid the nightmare of State Bar scrutiny of your trust accounts.

Representation and warranties insurance (RWI) policies are gaining increased popularity as a way for sellers and buyers to transfer the risk of breach of a representation or warranty in a purchase agreement, resulting in financial loss, to the insurance markets. RWI policies provide indemnification to limit sellers’ post-closing liability, while buyers see the policies as a way to streamline negotiations and preserve commercial relationships. Not surprisingly, the increase in the number of policies has led to a corresponding increase in claims. With the growing use of the RWI policies in transactions, attorneys need to have a greater understanding of how to negotiate these policies upfront, as well as common issues that clients encounter when pursuing or defending claims under these policies.

But how far can you go in your negotiations without crossing the ethical line? Make sure you have the insight to navigate complex ethical questions that arise in your daily practice, ensuring you maintain your professional reputation while securing the best outcomes for your clients.
