Institute for the Young Business Lawyer
Last year's Institute was such a success that the Section will once again host "The Institute for the Young Business Lawyer." This all-day institute will provide a setting in which the new business lawyer can obtain quality, introductory CLE at an affordable price, as well as be introduced to the many benefits of participating in the ABA and the Section of Business Law. The Institute for the Young Business Lawyer will take place at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel on Thursday, March 31.

The following programs will be presented:
  • Banking Law 101—A Survey Course for New Lawyers
  • The Alphabet Soup of the Unincorporated Business Organizations—The ABCs of LPs, LLPs, LLLPs, and LLCs
  • UCC: Avoiding Common Pitfalls and Keeping Your Priorities Straight
  • Cross-Border M&A Transactions Unique and Challenging
  • Nuts and Bolts of Mergers and Acquisitions
  • The ABCs of 'E' (and 'D')—What Every Business Lawyer Should Know About the Law of Electronic Commerce (and Discovery)

Young Lawyer Forum
The ABA Section of Business Law Young Lawyer Forum serves as a center of gravity for young lawyers to transition into the work of the Section of Business Law while providing social and leadership opportunities for young lawyers to engage in the substantive work of the Section and its Committees. Every Section member who is under the age of 40, or has been in practice less than 10 years, will automatically be a member of the Forum. The Forum provides a soft landing for young lawyers in the Section's Committees.
