From Tuesday, October 8 to Friday, October 11 the Nebraska State Bar Association will hold its annual meeting “Upholding the Standards of Our Profession” at the Embassy Suites Hotel & Conference Center in La Vista, Nebraska. Kutak Rock partners Michael Alvano and Caitlin Gustafson will host a CLE session titled “Demystifying the Corporate Transparency Act: A Guide for Lawyers” on Thursday, October 10 from 8 to 9 a.m. (CT). The Corporate Transparency Act’s reporting requirements became effective on January 1, 2024 and require many companies doing business in the United States, including almost all small businesses, to report certain information about the individuals who ultimately own or control them. This program is designed to give lawyers a general overview of the Corporate Transparency Act and how it may affect their clients.
