"I have never attended an Ethics CLE of this high caliber! I have read about Taylor Swift's legal challenges with her first recording company. And have been impressed with how she handled it, along with her advisors. To see this integrated with an attorney's Ethics Rules was fascinating. Kudos to Mr. Teicher for an informative CLE, and albeit it an entertaining one. Bravo!!"
