This CLE course provides guidance to Attorneys who work for Federal agencies, and addresses the thorny issues related to partisan politics and Federal employment.

The Highs and Lows of Cannabis Land Use Regulations
More than 155 million Americans now live in states with legal weed. Maryland and Missouri passed legalization earlier this month, meaning there are now 21 states where anyone at least 21 years old will be able to legally possess marijuana. While people will soon be able to legally purchase and use marijuana in 21 states, cannabis remains classified as a Schedule I drug on the Controlled Substances Act, the same category as heroin. That means cannabis use can still be a disqualifying factor for... More Info

The New Infrastructure Bill and Your Need to Understand Design-Build and Engineer-Procure-Construct Projects
Public entities/agencies will want to get funding to work as quick as possible. They will want to avoid the time constraints and design-liability associated with design-bid-build.

The problem is that the change in legal dynamics associated with desig... More Info

The Whistleblower Laws: Spot a Claim, Avoid Traps for the Unwary, and Earn a Bounty for Your Clients

Workers’ Comp: Its Synthesis and How to Run a Successful Boutique Comp Practice
Workers’ compensation is widely underestimated in its complexity. In fact, at the foundation of the law is not a lawsuit as many believe, but rather an administrative, no fault claims process. Its importance lies in that it remains an employees’ exclusive remedy against an employer for indemnity and medical benefits resulting from a work-related injury. This CLE course will explain New York Workers’ Compensation Law and the different case types, client management styles and an evaluati... More Info

On top of the recent enforcement actions, reproductive healthcare has taken center stage and with it, areas of HIPAA, including the law enforcement excep... More Info
