Connecticut has significantly amended the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA), expanding its scope, tightening protections for minors and sensitive data, and adding new obligations around artificial intelligence and large language models. This 60 minute program is designed for Connecticut attorneys who need a clear, practical understanding of the most recent amendments.

Law firm owners are increasingly exposed to aggressive tax strategies marketed as “planning,” yet many do not fully understand where legitimate tax minimization ends and tax fraud or abusive schemes begin. This program provides a practical, risk-aware overview of tax fraud concepts and the IRS’s annual “Dirty Dozen,” with a focus on strategies that commonly impact high-income professionals and law firm owners. Attendees will learn how to distinguish defensible tax planning from improper or abusive arrangements, identify common red flags used by tax promoters, and understand the potential financial, legal, and ethical consequences of getting it wrong. The program emphasizes judgment, decision-making, and risk management to help participants evaluate tax advice more effectively before taking action.
