CLE Indicates sessions that count toward Supreme Court of Ohio CLE hours of instruction

This program has been approved by the Supreme Court of Ohio Commission on Continuing Legal Education for 2.75 total CLE hours of instruction.

The seminar will be concurrently videocast to our Cleveland office, which is located at 1001 Lakeside Avenue East, Suite 1350. If you wish to attend in Cleveland or have any questions about the program, contact Traci Graham at 614.227.4941 or tgraham@bricker.com.

To our public sector clients and friends: As you are aware, Ohio's ethics laws prohibit us from giving certain public officials gifts, including food and beverages, of a "substantial value." We estimate that the cost of food and beverage at this event will be approximately $15 per person. While we do not consider this amount to be substantial, we understand that some jurisdictions or individuals may have adopted a more definitive or stringent policy regarding gifts and meals.
