CT Announces CLE-Accredited 2006 Seminar Series

Complimentary Series, Prepared and Presented by CT's Precedent Attorneys, Provides In-Depth Analyses of Key Issues Facing Corporate Legal Professionals Today

NEW YORK --March 28, 2006--Compliance requirements and jurisdictional regulations are constantly changing. Knowing about the latest information and how it affects business is critical to a company's bottom line. Legal professionals interested in gaining valuable insight on these key issues facing them today can do so while receiving continuing legal information (CLE) credits with CT's 2006 Seminar Series. CT is a Wolters Kluwer Company and the legal professional's first choice for intelligent software and service solutions for compliance, corporate transactions, litigation management and trademark solutions.

CT's free seminar series provides the in-depth knowledge attorneys need to advise their company or clients on their business entities, and paralegals need to perform due diligence and execute business transactions. The sessions are prepared and presented by CT's in-house team of precedent attorneys, who possess a vast knowledge of the latest jurisdictional information and how it applies to today's legal workflows.

The 2006 Seminar Series includes more than twenty-five sessions across the country on issues such as UCC due diligence, merger filings, Delaware's business entity laws, and service of process laws, among others. Attorneys and their legal staffs are eligible to receive CLE credits from CT's seminar series, which is approved by the Certified Legal Assistant (CLA) program and by the National Federation of Paralegals Association (NFPA).

"CT's legal experts are in constant touch with jurisdictions across the country, and they're up-to-date on the latest trends, rules and regulations," said Gene Landoe, president and CEO of CT and Wolters Kluwer Corporate Legal Services. "We realize how important it is for legal professionals to not only stay on top of this information, but to receive in-depth analysis of what it means to them and how it affects their business, or their clients' business. Ongoing education is critical to the growth of any industry--and CT is committed to playing a part of that role in the legal profession."

The five sessions offered through CT's 2006 Seminar Series include:

• Merger Filings in the 21st Century: Mergers are back--and so are the complex public record filings that are an integral part of them. Whether a business is involved in a classic "takeover" merger, or the more common cross-entity or parent-subsidiary mergers, legal professionals need to know how to manage these massive public record filings. Mergers involving different entity types and multiple states are even more complex. This seminar reviews merger types and their evolution from the merger-mania of the 1980's through today to give the big picture perspective. It covers practical tips for pre-transaction planning and avoiding rejected merger and post-merger filings. In addition, the seminar reviews other merger-related transaction types, such as consolidations, conversions and share exchanges to determine how they may be of benefit to a business's merger transaction.

Dates & locations: Sept. 12, Dallas; Sept. 14, Houston; Oct. 3, Seattle; Oct. 6, Chicago; Oct. 17, New York City; and Oct. 19, Detroit.

• Service of Process--A Primer for Business Entities: Legal professionals looking to stay on top of the critical knowledge they need to meet their Service of Process obligations can do so with this seminar. It examines the service of process laws that affect business entity defendants. Topics include the functions and Constitutional basis of the service of process laws, a look at the provisions commonly found in the court rules and civil procedure rules and statutes, an examination of the registered agent requirement, a discussion of the methods of delivering process to business entities, and a look at who the laws authorize to receive service of process on a business entity's behalf.

• UCC Due Diligence: In spite of Revised Article 9's (RA9) effort to simplify UCC filings, legal professionals need to know how to conduct comprehensive due diligence in a post RA9 world. This seminar covers the importance of UCC filings in relation to an overall business transaction, and discusses methods for ensuring the information on the filing(s) complies with the statutes. The seminar addresses the searching of public records for due diligence at length, including proper procedures to locate and uncover UCC liens and certain real estate documents, federal tax liens, state tax liens, and judgment liens. Participants will learn best practices for handling the complexities inherent in the end of the RA9 transition period in order to avoid risk of a current secured position.
