4 Reasons to Book an Accredited Class Action CLE Program

It’s never too early to be thinking about your continuing legal education (CLE) credits for the year. Regardless of whether your state bar requires you to complete CLE credits each year, these programs are beneficial for any attorney looking to keep up with evolving guidelines, new amendments, and industry trends, especially within the ever-changing class action industry.

And what better way to expand your knowledge and fulfill your credit obligations than while enjoying a free meal with your colleagues. That’s right, Heffler Claims Group will provide an in-person or web-based CLE program surrounding class action industry topics to your law firm or industry group and handle all the approvals and administrative requirements so your team can relax and enjoy the presentation over lunch – or breakfast, or dinner!

Here are four more reasons:

1. The class action industry is changing

The last two years brought changes such as amendments to Rule 23, additions to class action guidelines from the Northern District Courts, and a look at privacy laws across the country. In just a few short months, California will put forth the first step toward giving U.S. consumers control over how their personal information is collected, used, and shared with the California Consumer Privacy Act.

With all of these evolutions, it’s more important than ever to stay on top of industry movements and trends with true educational resources such as CLE programs.

2. Heffler programs are customizable for your firm or industry group

Are you primarily a Plaintiff firm? Maybe your firm is Defense or both?  Do you have a need to educate newer associates? Is your firm made up of a broad mix of experience levels? Whatever your needs, a tailored CLE program is sure to help you meet them. The class action industry is broad, and so is the range of topics we offer.

Some of our most popular CLE topics include:

• Early Results from Class Action Cases Administered Under the New Northern District of California Guidance
• Navigating the Class Action Settlement Process from Start to Finish
• Rule 23 Amendments: Are You Ready for the Digital Wild Wild West?
• Brand Safety: Top Considerations for Class Action Notice
• Driving Claims Participation in Class Action Settlements
• The Media Relevant – Why it Matters in Class Action Notice Context
• Settlement Fund Taxation
• Cy Pres Trends in Class Action Settlements
• Federal, State, and Local Tax Liabilities and Considerations Relating to Employment Class Actions
