It can be tough to keep the attention of a hundred newly admitted attorneys who have been sitting at an all-day CLE event for six hours, but Kaylin managed just that with Recurring Ethical Issues in Today’s Practice (and How to Avoid Them), imparting the key ethical issues that attorneys must avoid in their practice. The words “informative” and “entertaining” repeat over and over in the reviews, often in ALL CAPS and with multiple exclamation points.
Before founding her ethics and immigration law firm, she was a staff attorney at the Attorney Grievance Committee for the First Department in New York, and she has been featured in the book 200 Women: Who Will Change the Way You See the World.
Both of Lissett’s programs in 2018, including Supplemental Needs Trusts in New York Personal Injury Cases and Nuts & Bolts of Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts in New York have been recommended very highly by viewers for being “clear and easy to understand” and presenting “good and very useful information.”
Not only does Lissett exemplify what great CLE looks like, she has also had a fascinating career, including a Fulbright scholarship for research in Mozambique before law school, an influential paper on the human rights obligations of pharmaceutical companies, and a decade of work in New York’s court system as a court attorney.
Like her co-presenter Alissa Van Horn, Meredith has earned many awards, including Top 10 Under 40 by the National Academy of Family Law Attorneys and 10 Best Family Law Attorney Award for New York by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys. Meredith routinely gives back to her community by training other professionals on family law matters, so it is no surprise that her CLE How to Conduct a Comprehensive Client Consultation & Intake for Your Family Law Client has been recommended by over 800 attorneys.
Lawyers are writing rave reviews about Natalie’s two programs, Fundamentals of Student Loan Law and Discharging Student Loan Debt in Bankruptcy. A bankruptcy attorney, Natalie specializes in creative ways to manage student loan debt and assisting student loan borrowers in distress.
It is perhaps no surprise that Natalie is a natural performer – before she went to law school, Natalie worked in the music industry, doing contract work for acts such as Alicia Keys and Janet Jackson.
Sometimes you just have to go back to basics. With Delaware Corporate Law Essentials, Rebecca breaks down the fundamentals of organizational documents, corporate governance, and compliance rules for Delaware corporations. A corporate compliance superstar, Rebecca is admitted to practice in New York and Australia, and has also practiced in Zurich and Abu Dhabi. One commenter on her program praised: “her mastery of the subject matter is tremendous.”
As Chair of the Genova Burns Corporate Political Activity Practice Group (as well as the Nonprofits, Trade Associations & Tax-Exempt Organizations Practice Groups) Rebecca has unique expertise in advising all types of organizations on on the legal aspects of their political activities. Rebecca’s success lies in her ability to make this extremely complex practice area accessible – as one commenter on Corporate Political Activity and Compliance: Developing an Effective Compliance Plan noted, “the presenter was outstanding in that she made the Citizens United v. FEC case understandable even for the general practitioner.”
In addition to her usual practice, Rebecca also serves as Board Counsel to the Women’s Political Caucus, and she was recently named one of the Best 50 Women in Business by NJBiz.
Stacey’s background as a marketing and advertising executive prior to law school makes her a particularly effective counselor, as she intimately understands the importance of protecting IP assets – and it shows in her teaching as well. Stacey’s 2018 program How to Structure a Trademark Clearance Opinion Letter and Access Risk, which clearly lays out the steps to doing a full trademark search using real life examples and extremely practical tips, has been recommended by 99% of the attorneys who have watched.
As a co-presenter with Lissett Ferreira in Nuts & Bolts of Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts in New York, Tamara’s expertise in Elder Law and Trusts Law shines through. Tamara runs her own firm, Stack & Associates, and has been practicing since 1993 in these complicated, underappreciated, and absolutely critical areas of law.
