What do you do with important documents when you're faced with an impending natural disaster? The recent hurricanes in Florida and the imminent fire season in California may have you considering what you would do and gather with minimal time to evacuate. Natural disasters can be made more stressful without proper advance planning. Here is what one of our content attorneys, Jennifer Dean, recommends for a strong storage plan that considers relevant geographic and environmental factors: https://lnkd.in/gftSVAZc #naturaldisasters #hurricanes #fires #estateplanning #trustsandestates

Schedules, protocols and procedures established in the interest of fairness and proper notice are what make the legal world go round. But, what’s a rule without an exception? When the complexities and urgencies of your case make the usual timelines for gathering and exchanging information impractical or detrimental, expediting discovery might be the solution.    California attorneys have two options for obtaining orders shortening time for discovery: stipulation, where all parties agree to adjust the timeline, or ex parte order, which can proceed without waiting for responses from everyone involved. However, it’s one thing to recognize the need for this measure and another to obtain the order granting it.  Our blog provides the 4 key questions to ask as you prepare your filing, including a breakdown of the steps involved, the relevant circumstances, procedures and strategic considerations. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gHmCXYTy #CaliforniaLaw #LegalPractice #Discovery #Litigation #CEB #Ediscovery

A federal law requiring millions of businesses to disclose new information is approaching its first deadline. Amid lingering uncertainty over exemptions and definitions of beneficial ownership, California law firms still have much to unpack to help their clients navigate this new compliance burden.  After taking effect this year, the first deadline for filing reports with FinCEN is Jan. 1, 2025. The arrival of the CTA heralds a new era for most private businesses — including law firms — which have historically not provided such information, so the new requirements could catch some off guard. Notably, beneficial owners can include general counsel, who are considered a senior officer of the company. Thus it’s both a new compliance issue for law firms and added responsibility for them to properly advise clients subject to the new regulation.  Here’s what to know: https://lnkd.in/ggQ-BqUv #CorporateCompliance #TransparencyAct #LegalCompliance #InHouseCounsel #CorporateLaw #CEB #LegalGuidance
