| Thursday, July 29th | PBI: Piercing the Corporate Veil 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM Whether you are a plaintiff’s personal injury lawyer or a commercial litigator looking for the "deep pocket" to collect a judgment, a defense attorney who represents small corporations, or an attorney who counsels small businesses, this course is a must-attend. While the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil is not new, new developments in the law have broadened its application in ways that practitioners need to understand. As a tool for the personal injury attorney and, increasingly, the commercial litigator, it is a way to reach the assets of a wealthier parent corporation or an individual. |

| Tuesday, August 3rd | PBI: Pension Problems, Pitfalls and Solutions 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM Retirement Plans are one of the most important marital assets subject to equitable distribution upon divorce. The present value of a pension can vary widely depending on the assumptions made about interest rates, mortality, and many other factors. The division of a pension pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) will vary depending on whether the plan is an ERISA qualified plan or not. Family Lawyers who are knowledgeable about these issues will be more effective in representing their clients. This course will present these pension issues from the perspective of the equitable distribution Master, the pension expert, and the family law practitioner. Hear from Masters across the State about the most common pension disputes that come before them and how they decide them. Learn from pension experts about present value calculations and QDROs for ERISA and non-ERISA plans such as Pennsylvania’s State employees and teachers plans and the federal civil service plans, CSRS and FERS. |
