TBA Law Blog


Posted by: Stacey Shrader Joslin on Jul 6, 2020

The TBA Business Law Forum, originally scheduled for this past spring, will now be a virtual CLE held over two days. This year’s forum will focus on a number of key tax matters relevant to business law practice in Tennessee. Lawyers may register for the full two-day forum, only for Day 1 or only for Day 2. The program begins on July 23, with a focus on state and local taxation issues, including sessions on tax considerations in choice of entity, state tax incentives, and how taxes affect the daily practice of Tennessee business lawyers. It also will include an ethics component. Day 2 on July 29 will focus on federal tax law and regulation, including the taxation of LLCs, “hot topics” in entity-based transactional tax planning, and opportunity zones. Each day’s programming will run from 9 a.m. to noon CDT. Day 1 will offer one dual and two general CLE credits. Day 2 will offer three general CLE credits. Special thanks to forum sponsors Bass, Berry & Sims and Miller & Martin.
