McLane Middleton attorney Amy E. Drake and Beth L. Fowler will be presenting at an upcoming NH Bar Association CLE on “Signposts on the Tax Road” on March 10, 2021.
The CLE will address common tax issues that could arise in general practice, including issues in: transfers of real estate, leasing of real estate, formation of business entities, advising business entities, divorce proceedings, estate planning considerations, estate and trust administration concerns and strategies, personal injury rewards and damages, personal injury settlements, and bankruptcy proceedings. The goal of this CLE is to teach you the basic tax issues that may arise in specific practice areas, help you spot more complex tax issues, and give you tools to recognize how to handle the issue. There will be discussion of the ethical rules regarding competency, as well as a discussion of how to avoid being “sideswiped” by a tax issue.
