Presentations and panels

Dealing With State Government Without Losing Time or Goodwill
How North Carolina's agencies, boards, and local bodies actually make decisions — and the five errors that cost businesses the most.

(ii)
North Carolina's Regulatory Environment: A Working Map
State agencies, occupational licensing boards, local government, and the Administrative Procedure Act, explained for people who must operate within them.

(iii)
Negotiation for Owners and Boards
Preparation, leverage, and drafting discipline — what three decades of transactions and disputes teach about durable agreements.
Executive groups, family business forums, board retreats

Governance in the Closely Held Company
Ownership agreements, deadlock, valuation, and succession — the provisions written in good years that decide the difficult ones.
