Program Summary

One of the most enjoyable, interesting, and challenging aspects of practicing family law is how it can often touch on so many different areas of practice. To be a successful practitioner, family attorneys need to have a working knowledge of many different areas of law and be able to spot issues where they may need to get further assistance or advise clients when another specialist needs to be brought into a case. This seminar will consist of a general overview of many areas that touch on family law practice as well as tips and tricks for practitioners.

The course will discuss what family lawyers should know about criminal law, soft sciences, bankruptcy, tax concerns, business and asset valuation, and high asset divorce considerations. It will also touch on evidentiary and trial issues relating to digital information, both personal and financial, as well as the involvement of other specialists in a divorce matter. It will not dive deep into each of these areas but rather provide an overview of what to watch out for to determine if a deep dive is needed.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Criminal law and soft science issues
  • Bankruptcy and tax issues
  • High Asset Considerations
  • Digital Evidence
  • Experts
