Movies often depict lawyers behaving badly, acting unprofessionally, or blatantly violating rules of professional conduct – all for the sake of entertainment. But in real life, attorneys need to avoid these gaffes at all costs, learn from their mistake when they do occur, and understand the consequences that may arise in the aftermath. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from Stuart Teicher as he examines both the obvious and subtle ethics violations being committed by lawyers in the movies and on television. Topics include:
  • Ex parte conversations with a judge (Rule 3.5);
  • How fictional lawyers are constantly disrupting a tribunal (Rule 3.4(d)); and
  • Your responsibility to report a colleague’s misconduct (Rule 8.3 (a)).

Higher input costs and slowing demand have many concerned about the economic impact of tariffs. Added volatility over actual tariff rates make it difficult to strategize … but what’s your next best move? Turns out there’s a lot that can be done right now that doesn’t involve pondering price increases. Join us for a step-by-step look at how to quickly assess your tariff exposure, the over 20 techniques that can help you tackle it, and the roadmap of actionable steps you can take to protect your business in three distinct areas:
  • Low Hanging Fruit. Learn why being familiar with your expenses is so important to the financial health of your business and how to confirm that you aren’t paying a nickel more than you have to (regardless of tariff rates) by: scrubbing invoices for accuracy, reviewing taxes for additional deductions, understanding and utilizing accounting treatments, and cash flow/currency considerations.
  • Reduce Exposure / Current Footprint. Learn to identify short term investments for margin preservation, while understanding the importance of capacity-driven pricing, cash flow analysis, cross-border warehousing, and tariff engineering. Additional topics include inventory techniques to use to your advantage, free/foreign trade zones, and how to build a model with dynamic inputs and dynamic pricing outputs.
  • Reduce Exposure / Reimagined Footprint. Shift from defense to offense while taking control of your economic destiny by better understanding the value of long-term profitability and how to create a board-level long-term strategic plan.
