Join Us For The

Fourth Symposium on Advanced Legal Topics in Land Conservation

February 5-6, 2014 | Reno, Nevada

		If you work with land trusts on advanced legal issues, this is a program you cannot afford to miss. This Symposium will deliver information that is impossible to find at any other single program.  You will receive updates from leading professors, private practitioners, and conservation professionals who are uniquely qualified to weigh in on timely topics in conservation law. You will leave with practical tips you can put to use immediately upon your return to the office.

Gather with your colleagues to take advantage of this rare opportunity to discuss and contribute insight on these complex legal issues:

• Dissect a breach of contract conservation case to develop cogent pretrial strategies.
• Analyze four leading conservation and tax cases for practice implications and new trends.
• Drill down into nuances and negotiation of surface use agreements for  oil and gas extraction.
• Leave your dogma at the door for an intensive six-hour practical examination of land trusts risk assessment, conservation easement modification alternatives, costs and opportunities to advance conservation.

Up to 11 CLE credits available
