Under the CTA, entities formed before 2024 must file their initial BOIR by December 31, 2024, unless they meet specific exemptions. With this deadline approaching, it’s vital to identify whether your company is required to file, understand the necessary disclosures—which include details on beneficial ownership, the entity’s creator or registrant in the U.S., and any updates to this information—and ensure compliance to avoid significant penalties
And, with the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) declared unconstitutional in some instances, it’s crucial to assess its applicability to your clients. What steps should you and your clients take moving forward?
Do they need to file at the end of December, and if so, who and how?
Join attorneys specializing in the CTA for a comprehensive discussion covering the act’s implications, impacted entities, the Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR), key deadlines, penalties, and related congressional, judicial, and state matters.
Stay informed and enhance your ability to advise your clients effectively.
Key topics will include (see very detailed agenda on Agenda tab above):
- Overview and History of CTA
- Entities impacted
- Exempt Entities
- Who are the Beneficial Owners
- Company Applicants
- Beneficial Ownership Information Report
- Contents, Timing, Gathering Information & Access
- Enforcement and Penalties
- Legislative and Judicial Update
Join us to navigate these critical issues and safeguard your clients’ interests.

“It’s not merely about getting in the required CLE hours. The content of the seminar I attended impressed me and sold me on your programs. It’s very easy to get the hours. Getting something of substance that is beneficial is different. I’m proud to say that this is what separates you from the competition.” – Jerry Szymanski, Esq.
“I have utilized all of the service providers that I noted in the survey and truly felt I received great service from each. My favorite continuing legal education seminar provider, Pincus Professional Education is particularly noteworthy though. I have attended about five Pincus seminars. Each was phenomenally packed with useful content and had presenters/speakers of the highest skill level. I would unhesitatingly recommend Pincus to other lawyers and am already planning my next couple of seminars with this CLE provider.” – Quote from The Recorder’s survey.
