The requirements and impacts the new law will have on your clients.

The Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”) represents an unprecedented change for small businesses, their owners, and the attorneys who advise them. By imposing strict federal reporting requirements and felony criminal penalties for imperfect compliance, the CTA is going to change how attorneys who work on business formation, estate planning, M&A, real estate transactions, family law, and other areas structure their practices and do business. This program addresses the requirements of the CTA, the impacts that this new law will have on clients, and strategies for ensuring that your clients do not fall short of their obligations.
