Our virtual event to celebrate The Link virtual office and ethics CLE (originally scheduled for July 15, 2021 at 4:00pm CDT) has been postponed until the fall. We will alert you once a new date has been arranged.
We hope to see you then.
Since its opening one year ago, 80 attorneys and professionals from coast to coast have joined our virtual office. The goal of this unique work environment is simple: build a virtual office structure to enhance client service and better support our people. We strive every day to deploy the best resources for our clients’ needs in an ongoing effort to assist them in achieving their goals.
At this virtual event, we will share the story behind the opening of our virtual office in the midst of a pandemic, including many of the highlights and challenges in creating this novel working environment. In addition, we will present an ethics session (qualifying for CLE credit in many states) on avoiding ethical pitfalls in a remote legal practice. The event will conclude with small interactive breakout discussions and all attendees will receive a special gift commemorating our anniversary celebration.
