The LLC now leads as the most popular statutory business entity in the United States. If you manage business formations and compliance, chances are you’re looking at a lot of LLCs. But with only 30 years of LLC law — compared to 100+ years of corporation law — you can also be facing some uncertainty.
Whether you’re managing just a few LLCs or many, accuracy is essential. Learn the basics of LLC law from CT’s expert staff attorneys. With a solid grounding in current LLC state laws, you can confidently make better-informed decisions for forming, qualifying, and maintaining LLCs.

Unfair and Deceptive Acts & Practices Seminar - Chicago Automobile Trade Asso...Jim Radogna
Dealers have plenty to worry about when it comes to rules and regulations governing the industry, but perhaps the most harrowing are known as “UDAPs”.
Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices (UDAP) statutes are consumer protection laws that address what lawmakers consider to be “unethical” or otherwise “bad” business practices. The FTC Act and the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act both prohibit unfair or deceptive acts or practices. These statutes have far-reaching implications for auto dealers because they provide for enforcement by the government to stop the practices, individual actions for damages brought by consumers who are hurt by the practices, and even criminal liability.
Dealers need to be aware that these statues are extremely broad and not only prohibit acts and practices that fall directly under the purview of specific laws, but also any other practice that is determined to be unfair or deceptive to the consumer. A behavior can be found to be unfair and deceptive and thus actionable even though it does not constitute fraud, breach of contract, or negligence under more traditional law. As a result, UDAP claims are a favorite among consumer attorneys – especially those seeking class action lawsuits.
There are a wide variety of dealer sales, F&I, and advertising practices that may be considered to be unfair or deceptive by regulators or courts. Some of these are commonly-known, while others may surprise you.
In this informative seminar we’ll address these potential legal pitfalls and suggest best practices for avoiding being caught up in a “UDAP Trap”.
This seminar is highly recommended for dealership upper management as well as sales managers, F&I personnel, sales consultants, and others – anyone who interacts with, or markets to, consumers.

The Law of Unfair Trade Practices: Practical tips for deadling with unfair tr...EllisWinters
The talk is nationwide in scope, but it includes plenty of North Carolina examples. In the talk, I lay out the general shape of the law on unfair trade practices, including some infamous recent cases from California and New Jersey.
See especially slides 6-14, where I describe how section 75-1.1 fits into the range of similar statutes nationwide.
In order to safely navigate these tricky waters, it is best to be prepared ahead of time, so that potential hazards and serious issues can be averted. By knowing what to expect and when to execute, your deals will not only close, but move forward more smoothly.
In this webinar, we will review the background and current landscape for deals, including leading deal transaction vehicles, and federal and state requirements. We will then discuss some of the more common compliance requirements, and the issues and challenges associated with them so that attendees may learn best practices in improving the efficiency and transparency of deal workflow.

May 13, 2015 Webinar
Presented by EDR & EBA
“The Dodd-Frank Act” is all over the news. It’s reportedly killing community banks, and will impact all of the banking members in this distribution in some capacity. In continuation of a February Environmental Bankers Association - Risk Management Call (EBA-RMC) John Rybak and Greg Lampe of BB&T Bank, and attorney Brad Merrill of Snell-Wilmer, will provide an explanation of what’s going on, notably with respect to Banking Vendor Management (“vetting the vendors”).
Since its passage in 2010, implementation and interpretation of the 2,323 page long Dodd-Frank Act has touched most every part of banking including how banks use vendors, particularly in the area of mortgages and consumer compliance. Five years later there remains substantial uncertainty as new rule making continues. During our call we will provide a summary of key regulatory areas every banker should be aware of in vendor management as well as some of the general results of Dodd-Frank and exposure for non-compliance.
A UBO is an individual who ultimately owns or controls 25% or more
of an entity (whether directly as a shareholder or indirectly via control
of companies) or other entities or structures that control the entity. In
short, it is the ultimate beneficiary regardless of the chain of control.
