SUMMARY:Defending the White Collar Case
DESCRIPTION:Partner Ellen Brotman is serving as course planner and chairman Richard Scheff is participating as faculty for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute’s “Defending the White Collar Case.”\n \n\nThe F.B.I. defines white collar crime as “a full range of frauds committed by business and government professionals.” These offenses can range from minor benefits fraud to sophisticated Ponzi schemes\, and include the non-filing taxpayer as well as the complicated tax shelter promotion. While each case requires subject matter expertise\, the successful defense of white collar cases hinges on a combination of skill\, creativity and judgment. These offenses present special challenges: the issues are complex\, the documents are confusing and often voluminous and the press coverage may be helping the prosecutor persuade your jurors before you even get a chance to meet them. The lawyers who regularly handle such cases understand that they involve corporate and individual defendants who are targeted as much for who they are as for what they did and their lives\, careers and corporate existence are on the line.\n \n\nThis program will examine the substantive and procedural nuances of white collar defense. Topics will explore the white collar case from investigation through appeal; each panel will offer legal updates as well as provide nuts and bolts advice and techniques for each stage of the case.\n \n\nFebruary 18\, 2014 at 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM \n\nCLE Credits : 7.5\nDownload Event Attachment \nThe CLE Conference Center\, Wanamaker BuildingPhiladelphia

SUMMARY:What Non-Union Employers Need to Know About the NLRA - And It's a Lot
DESCRIPTION:Certain employees of nonprofit organizations are protected by the National Labor Relations Act\, even if they don’t belong to a union.

SUMMARY:State Charitable Solicitation Statutes: Everything You Wanted to Know But Were Afraid to Ask
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery McCracken partners Don Kramer and Karl Emerson will present the “State Charitable Solicitation Statutes: Everything You Wanted to Know But Were Afraid to Ask” webinar.\n \n\nCharities that seek contributions nationally must typically register in 39 states and the District of Columbia before starting to solicit. Furthermore\, for-profit fundraisers are also required to register and file their contracts and other documentation with many states. Since many states are increasing their enforcement efforts to ensure that charities and fundraisers are complying with initial and annual registration requirements\, it’s important that charities and fundraisers abide by these statutes-especially since noncompliance can result in the imposition of significant fines and penalties.\n \n\nClick here to register for the webinar.\n \n\nOctober 17\, 2013 at 1:30 PM – 3:00 AM

SUMMARY:Lobbying and Electioneering for Nonprofits
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery McCracken partner Don Kramer will serve as a speaker for the Lobbying and Electioneering for Nonprofits webinar. \n \n\nEvery year is election year. And every session of the Congress\, state legislature\, or local government offers the possibility of public policy change that can significantly affect the work of nonprofit organizations. \n \n\nTherefore\, nonprofits are concerned about what they may and may not do to influence elections and public policy. This webinar will discuss those issues with particular emphasis on the limitations on lobbying and electioneering by charities.  It will also offer practical advice on setting up relationships with legislators so that your voice can be heard when an issue is pending that can affect your work.\n \n\nNonprofit Issues® editor Don Kramer will discuss how charities can lose their federal income tax exemption if they participate in political campaigns at any level.\n \n\nHe will also discuss how charities may take positions on legislative issues and why they may not be doing their job if they fail to do so. What counts as “lobbying” under the federal regulations? Do they have to worry about lobbying registration requirements?\n \n\nJoe Geiger\, former Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations and now President/CEO of the First Nonprofit Foundation\, will discuss proven methods of developing relationships with legislators so that they see you as a legitimate resource to help them understand issues.\n \n\nIf your organization\, your clients\, or your issues are affected by public policy\, you will want to participate in this webinar.\n \n\nWe will provide background materials to elaborate on the discussion. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the panelists during and after the presentation. \n \n\nClick here to register and for more information.\n \n\nSeptember 17\, 2013 at 1:30 AM – 3:00 PM
