Womble Carlyle’s South Carolina offices held a three-hour CLE on Thursday, April 27th as part of the firm’s sponsorship of the Association of Corporate Counsel – South Carolina Chapter. Participants were given the opportunity to attend the event in one of the firm’s three South Carolina offices—Charleston, Columbia and Greenville.
Each office had one live speaker give a one-hour presentation and participated via video conference for the second and third speakers. Womble Carlyle attorneys Josh Howard (Greenville), Stephanie Yarbrough (Charleston) and Belton Zeigler (Columbia) gave three lively presentations:
- Investigating and Evaluating Company Recovery Opportunities (Howard);
- South Carolina Economic Development Success Stories: What Lawyers Can Learn from What Worked (Yarbrough);
- Practical Steps for Limiting Cyber Liability (Zeigler).
A Cocktail Reception was held in each office afterwards.
