Pierce Atwood Employment Law Program Schedule 2015-2016
We are pleased to announce the following schedule for our Employment Group programs through 2016. We will offer a mix of breakfast, mid-morning, and half-day programs from our Portland, Boston, and Portsmouth offices. Some, but not all, programs will also be available via webinar.
We will send you a reminder with a registration link 10 to 14 days before each event. Look for information about continuing education credits in those reminder messages. We look forward to seeing you this year.
In 2017, we will transition to a calendar year schedule. An announcement will be sent out in December with the schedule for 2017.
