Lawyers and Social Media - Ethics - October 13, 2016

If You’re Not on Facebook You’re Committing Malpractice

Sponsored by Avvo Lawyernomics

Can you imagine cross-examining a witness about a telephone call if you’d never used a telephone before? It sounds ridiculous, but that’s precisely where many attorneys find themselves today when it comes to social media. With most of the population now using one or more of these tools to communicate, it’s increasingly dangerous for attorneys to blithely ignore social media and other developing technologies.

Lawyers who attend this webinar will learn about:

• The growing number of ethics opinions addressing social media, and the obligation of attorneys to be familiar with them.
• How to think about counseling clients on use of social media during a pending matter — and the attorney’s own use.
• The intersection between competency requirements and changes in law office technology.

Preventing Internal Cybersecurity Breaches - October 18, 2016

Preventing Internal Cybersecurity Breaches: How to Effectively Train Your Employees 

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA and NAVEX Global

While most companies are focusing on preventing external cybersecurity attacks, they often ignore one of the biggest cybersecurity risks: their own employees.  Studies have shown that unintentional employee behavior can create major vulnerabilities within companies, leaving them open to cybersecurity attacks.  However, companies tend to fall short in effectively training their employees on cybersecurity issues and awareness.

In this webinar, our panelists will discuss the types of cybersecurity threats created by a lack of employee awareness, and how to develop an effective cybersecurity training program for your employees to prevent and solve for these vulnerabilities.

Educational Objectives:
Webinar participants will learn:
• Examples of the types of threats that can come from employee behavior;
• How to develop bring-your-own-device (BYOD), social media, and secure data access policies;
• Strategies for developing and implementing an effective cybersecurity training program for employees to raise awareness.

Federal and State Excise Tax Review - 1-1/2 units - October 26, 2016

Excise Taxes- Federal and State Excise Tax Review and Updates 

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA and Mayer Brown

Who is impacted by Excise Taxes? 

Today, not only are your traditional refining and petroleum wholesale marketing companies impacted by Excise Taxes, but also petroleum product/crude importers, pipeline operators, terminal operators, natural gas fractionators and based on proposed legislation previously untaxed alternative fuels may be taxed similar to petroleum based fuels. Excise Taxes on petroleum products have been in existence for years.  Historically, Excise Taxes applied to traditional petroleum products, such as, gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.  However, changes in the petroleum industry in recent years have increased the reach of Excise Taxes. With the expansion of commercially available products, such as biodiesel and other renewable fuels, and new source/distribution networks due to the shale play, the number of companies impacted by Excise Taxes has increased sharply.

Please join us as we explore key topics in Excise Tax today, including the following:
• How to identify if your company has an Excise Tax issue.
• Biodiesel Credit – current provisions and pending changes.
• Taxation on imports of petroleum products and crude oil into the US
• Federal Income Tax benefit for biodiesel mixture and alcohol mixture (gasohol) credits
• Federal Excise Tax credits on fuel used in mobile machinery vehicles
• Updates on issues from around the country

Educational Objectives:
• Identify federal income tax benefits for biodiesel and gasohol credits
• Identify federal excise tax credits on fuel used in mobile machinery vehicles
