About the Seminar - Computer Based Audio ONLY programs (No Video) - DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR CLE BIG TICKET
Equipment leasing is increasingly commonplace as companies choose to lease rather than buy the computers and IT equipment, capital and office equipment, cars and other equipment essential to operating their businesses. Equipment leases have also become exceptionally complex over time, resembling financially engineered instruments as much as traditional leases. The leases must comply with UCC Article 2A or risk financially disadvantaging the lessor and/or the lessee. If a purported lease is re-characterized as a sale or a security interest, there may be substantial adverse financial and tax consequences. This program will also provide you with a practical guide to reviewing and drafting equipment leases, ensuring compliance with UCC Article 2A to mitigate the risk of re-characterization as a sale or a security interest, and underlying the rights and obligations of the parties to the lease.
