The event will review the impact of new case law and upates to the Uniform Commercial Code
Wolters Kluwer CT Corporation is assembling a virtual panel of expert lawyers to share insights into recent case law and trends poised to have a significant impact on how to approach due diligence in 2023. The continuing legal education (CLE) event – “Attorney Roundtable: Due Diligence Trends” – will feature leading attorneys from firms such as Parsons Behle & Latimer, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, and Mayer Brown, on April 18 at 1 PM ET.
Moderated by Dan Lias, Transactional Business Consultant at Wolters Kluwer CT Corporation, the panel is tasked with exploring the practical impact of recent updates to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which includes revisions to Article 9 stating that a representative of the secured party can appear on the UCC financing statement in lieu of the secured party, as well as the implications that a new Article 12 has for electronic ledgers and cryptocurrency. Additionally, the expert lawyers assembled will review new case law stemming from 1944 Beach Boulevard, LLC v. Live Oak Banking Company and what it means for how law firms currently handle matters such as debtor naming and collateral descriptions.

Possessing considerable experience in both the corporate and law firm environment, Lias assists firms with developing cohesive due diligence strategies that align to their specific needs.
