Is the billable hour mandate holding us back? 3i Law Managing Partner Chuong M. Le weighs in on the long-standing tradition of minimum billable hour requirements in law firms. He explores how this system often leads to stress, inefficiencies, and a focus on clocking hours rather than delivering top-notch legal solutions.

Mediation is an invaluable tool for resolving legal disputes without the stress, expense, and unpredictability of a traditional courtroom battle. Whether you’re involved in a personal conflict, a business disagreement, or any other type of legal dispute, effective mediation can lead to a mutually satisfactory resolution while preserving relationships and minimizing legal costs. In fact, the benefits of mediation have been so well recognized that many jurisdictions now require or order mediation to occur prior to a case being heard by a judicial officer. In this article, 3i Law's Jerry Chang and Grant Shibao explore five tips and tricks to help you navigate the mediation process: https://lnkd.in/g-YdEw8Y #mediation #alternativedisputeresolution

When the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in December 2017, the Basic Exclusion Amount for estate and gift tax was temporarily doubled to $10M (adjusted for inflation) until 2026. We all knew the end of this period was coming, but now that it’s almost here, the pressure to use the increased lifetime estate and gift tax exemption is mounting. Taxpayers and their advisers must begin planning for how to use the temporarily increased exemption or risk forever losing this multi-million-dollar tax benefit. 3i Law Partner Klaralee Charlton J.D., LL.M. will discuss this reality and how to plan for the decreasing exemption in an upcoming webinar presented by the University of Illinois Tax School on August 6. https://lnkd.in/gytwmYiX #estateplanning #estatetax #taxexemption
