Asset Protection and the Long Reach of the Family Law Courts – On Demand Fireside Chat

Professionals love to chat informally with the experts in their field, something that’s been challenging during the pandemic. TVEd is proud to offer our loyal clients an opportunity to do just that – through our new Online Fireside Chats.

This isn’t a webinar and it’s not chalk and talk. It’s a one hour conversation between one of the most respected experts in their chosen field and another expert. Each discussion is planned by the two experts and covers an agreed range of issues we’ll share with you.

Depending on the number of questions, we’ll stay on the line for an extra 15 minutes to make sure they are all answered.
