Agenda and speakers for Taxable Damages and Structured Legal Fee seminar

For those of you who are attending the Taxable Damages and Structured Legal Fee Seminar we have finally nailed down the speaker list, order and agenda. As you can imagine pulling over eighteen different speakers in a one and a half day conference is quite a feat, but we pulled it off! We have sold out the event, it should be a great time and hopefully launches a lot of professionals into the start of building a professional practice centered around taxable damage litigation and structured legal fees. The setting is the Hotel Valley Ho and we look forward to seeing you there.
