Overview

Everything You Need to Advise Business Clients

Corporate law moves fast, and the gaps in your knowledge can be costly for your clients and your practice. Whether you're handling formation documents for a new client or advising an existing business through dissolution, missing even one critical step can expose you to liability, delay transactions, or damage client relationships. This comprehensive 6-hour program gives you end-to-end command of the corporate lifecycle. From choice of entity and formation through governance, compliance, major transactions, and dissolution, you'll leave with a complete, practical framework you can apply immediately. NBI's expert faculty break down complex topics into actionable guidance, so you stop second-guessing and start advising with confidence. Register today!

  • Get clarity on entity selection and help clients choose the right structure for their goals and risk profile.
  • Master formation essentials: articles, bylaws, and the paperwork that actually matters.
