Important CLE InformationThe New York State MCLE Board requirement for Attorneys in practice beyond the first two years after admission to the Bar is 24 credit hours per biennial registration cycle, with four hours of these credit hours earned in the area of ethics and professionalism. This program will satisfy up to 17.5 MCLE credit hours including up to 4.5 hours in ethics and/or up to 15.5 hours in the general category. The ethics portion of this program will qualify for MCLE credit for newly admitted attorneys; however, the balance of the program will not qualify since it is not a basic practical skills program.

Established in 1893 and with offi ces in Atlanta, Dallas, Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina, New York and Washington, D.C., Alston & Bird is one of the largest and oldest law fi rms in the country. The fi rm’s 800 attorneys provide a full range of services to domestic and international clients all over the world, including Corporate, Litigation, Intellectual Property and Taxation. For the ninth consecutive year, Alston & Bird is ranked on the "FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For" list. This recognition speaks to the culture of the fi rm and the environment in which we provide service to clients.

Advokatfi rman Lindahl was founded in 1918. Today, Lindahl has six offi ces in Sweden´s major cities and a long-standing reputation as one of Sweden’s leading full service business law fi rms.

Lindahl offers specialised legal skills and thorough knowledge and understanding of the business sectors in which our clients operate.

Lindahl has been recognized for its practice groups in corporate law, M&A, banking and fi nance, TMT, transportation and dispute resolution.

International business law is becoming increasingly complex and demanding in terms of resources. This means that we always need to consider the commercial consequences before providing legal advice. In today's society, companies are judged not only on their fi nancial performance, but also from a social and environmental perspective.Consequently, we need to be able to foresee the ethical effects which decisions on legal and commer-cial issues may have. Vinge considers the long-term consequences of the advice which it provides to its clients, and not only the solutions which may be optimal for the present. In short, a good lawyer sees beyond the law.Vinge is the leading law fi rm in Scandinavia with approximately 450 employees, of which 330 are law-yers. The business is focused on commercial law with a large number of international transactions. Vinge has offi ces in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Helsingborg as well as in London, Brussels, Hong Kong and Shanghai. Vinge is a member of Lex Mundi, a global network of independent law fi rms.
