The South Carolina Bar Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Division is pleased to announce the 2024 Corporate/Transactional Law Essentials seminar. This introductory course is designed to help practitioners who are new to corporate practice and transactional law navigate the key processes and challenges in this specialized area.
Course planners Melissa Cassel and Will Umbach have assembled a knowledgeable faculty that will provide expert guidance in a relaxed and interactive setting. Participants will learn to assess and apply the law to practical scenarios in areas such as employment agreements and restrictive covenants, choice of entity, corporate and LLC formation, buy-sell agreements, securities, asset and stock purchase agreements, and contract review and drafting. Additionally, Bill Higgins' ethical role plays will spotlight crucial professionalism and ethical issues that can significantly impact your practice.
Whether you are new to the corporate/transactional field or seeking a comprehensive refresher on the most critical aspects of this complex area, this program is tailored for you.
This
seminar is a basic level program.
For
those required to take South Carolina Bar CLE “Essentials Series.”
Pursuant
to SCACR Rule 408(a)(3), newly admitted members are required,
unless you fall within one or more of the exemptions outlined in Rule 408
(a)(3)(A)-(D), to complete one (not all) of the SC Bar CLE “Essentials
Series” courses. Attendance at Essentials Courses not only meets the Essentials
requirement, but also counts toward your required annual 14 hours of MCLE. No
other CLE course, workshop, video series (i.e., the Supreme Court’s Course of
Study), or bootcamp will satisfy this requirement.
The
“Essentials Series” is comprised of 10 full-day courses, which cover major
practice areas, as well as legal ethics. Each course is designed and taught by
experienced practitioners, are process oriented, and are specifically designed
to provide step-by-step teaching, as well as the opportunity to interact with
the faculty.
All
essentials’ programs will be held live at the SC Bar Conference Center,
Columbia.
Programs
will not be available via live webinar.
Lunch
will be provided for those attending in-person.
In-person
attendees will be offered discounts on SC Bar CLE publications.
