Moderated by Steven Lowe, CSEL President and Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner at Lowe & Associates, panelists Marc Toberoff, Esq. (Toberoff & Associates, P.C) and Evan S. Cohen, Esq. (Cohen Music Law) the Zoom event will tackle all key areas relating to termination rights, including what to do, when you can do it, consequences, and major issues.
Free for CSEL members, event tickets are available for non-CSEL members at $30 dollars. The event is a presentation of CSEL in coordination with MCLE Seminar Chairman, David Albert Pierce of Pierce Law Group, LLP. (CSEL members are invited to email projects@csel-la.org or administration@csel-la.org to receive the promo code for the event).
