2023 Solo and Small Conference - The Benefits for Lawyers of Using Plain Language

$50.00
  • Author/Instructor:  Melissa Brooks and Shandi Stoner (Campbell)

Presented at 2023 OBA Solo and Small Firm Conference The Benefits for Lawyers of Using Plain Language   The first year of law school involves learning a lot of new legal terminology. It is only natural that we lawyers want to use our expanded vocabulary. But when communicating with clients who haven’t been to law school or drafting  a document that a jury might be examining in litigation, the benefits from avoiding “legalese” and using language that everyone can understand are many. Using plain language is an important skill for today’s lawyer.   Presented by:  MELISSA BROOKS  Director of Legal Information and Engagement of Legal Information and Engagement, Oklahoma Access to Justice Foundation   SHANDI CAMPBELL  Director of Landlord/Tenant Resource Center, Housing Solutions   Disclaimer:  All views or opinions expressed by any presenter during the course of this CLE is that of the presenter alone and not an opinion of the Oklahoma Bar Association, the employers, or affiliates of the presenters unless specifically stated.

Capital Calls – Agreements to Contribute More Capital Over Time

$85.00
  • Author/Instructor:  C. Ben Huber

Many companies need additional capital to fund current operations and fuel growth.  When raising capital, these companies often look first to their existing investor base. The company may build into its operative documents – shareholder agreements, operating agreements, even its articles of incorporation or organization – a plan whereby the company can “call” on existing investors to contribute additional capital. There are various mechanisms for achieving these types of “capital calls” and adjusting the ownership interests and other rights of incumbent investors who do not contribute additional capital. This program will provide you a practical guide to planning capital calls in closely held businesses, including how to adjust the financial and governance rights of the company’s owners. Advantages/disadvantages of requiring capital from existing investor base over time Forms of follow-on contributions – pro-rata and other structures Readjustment of stake in company when certain investors do not participate – dilution issues Voting, informational and related issues on the contribution of additional capital Obtaining additional capital from investors beyond the original Counseling clients about potential investor group disputes   Speaker: C. Ben Huber is a partner in the Denver office of Greenburg Traurig, LLP, where he has a broad transactional practice encompassing mergers and acquisitions, restructurings and reorganizations, corporate finance, capital markets, venture funds, commercial transactions and general corporate law.  He also has substantial experience as counsel to high tech, biotech and software companies in the development, protection and licensing of intellectual property.  His clients include start-up companies, family- and other closely-held businesses, middle market business, Fortune 500 companies, venture funds and institutional investors.  Mr. Huber earned his B.A. from the University of Colorado and his J.D. at the University of Colorado Law School.   Disclaimer:  All views or opinions expressed by any presenter during the course of this CLE is that of the presenter alone and not an opinion of the Oklahoma Bar Association, the employers, or affiliates of the presenters unless specifically stated.

How to Construct Complex Pleadings in Microsoft Word

$84.99
  • Author/Instructor:  Oklahoma Bar Association

How to Construct Complex Pleadings in Microsoft Word One of the most difficult technical tasks one can undertake is formatting a complex brief in Microsoft Word that has a title page, table of contents, table of authorities, multi-level paragraph numbering, and page numbering that starts over in the middle of the document and switches formats (for example, Romanettes to Arabic).  In this class, you’ll receive a finely tuned 10th Circuit US Court of Appeals brief template (in Microsoft Word), and you’ll learn how to use it, customize it to your purposes, automatically generate/update a table of contents and table of authorities, and control formatting within the document no matter where you copied and pasted it from.  The heavy lifting is already done, and if you use this template as the starting point for your next brief, you’ll shave many hours off the process because the formatting will just work.  Of course, we’ll also explain how the template was constructed so you can use the techniques in your other documents.   Disclaimer:  All views or opinions expressed by any presenter during the course of this CLE is that of the presenter alone and not an opinion of the Oklahoma Bar Association, the employers, or affiliates of the presenters unless specifically stated.
