• Tax and Business Law Discussion Group

  • When
    Wednesday, October 31, 2018
  •  
    12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
  • Location
    Husch Blackwell, 555 E. Wells Street, Room 19H (19th floor)

  The topic of marijuana legalization is one that several states have recently addressed and, with the upcoming November election, Wisconsin citizens will finally also be able to voice their opinion through several referendum measures across the state. The marijuana industry has the potential to create tens of thousands of jobs and generate billions in revenue each year, so it is important that Wisconsin attorneys be ready to address the needs of this untapped market. During our discussion, we will speak on the overall business and tax considerations specific to this industry, and what you as an attorney may want to keep in mind in advising potential clients.
  
  If you were ever interested in learning what might be required of a tax or business law attorney in the marijuana industry, or if you are just curious about the topic, we encourage you to stop by! Lunch will be provided courtesy of Husch Blackwell. Please RSVP to Jackie Wilcox by October 26th.

  Please also bring toys to donate to the Milwaukee Women’s Center, a division of Community Advocates that provides comprehensive services and treatment for women, men and children whose lives have been affected by domestic violence, substance abuse, mental health issues, and poverty.
  
  Although the primary children clients of Milwaukee Women’s Center are between 5-10 years of age, we are looking for toys and games for children of all ages, from infants though 16 years old. Milwaukee Women’s Center will also accept used iPods and MP3 players, as well as gift cards. Please do not wrap your gifts, as the staff can better allocate the gifts if they can see what they are. However, do feel free to donate gift wrap, ribbon, and bows in lieu of (or in addition to) your toy donations. Contact Lauren Maddente with questions.
  
  Checks made payable to Community Advocates will also be accepted.
  
  AWL members are encouraged to make this event a toy drive at your firm too. What a great way to get everyone involved in the spirit of giving!

  Women Judges’ Night is the Association for Women Lawyers' premiere annual event. For over 35 years, we have gathered to recognize the women in our profession who serve on the bench.
  
  Our keynote speaker will be Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Kathryn Foster. Each year, Women Judges’ Night features a speaker who shares her unique perspective on the law and how women have changed not only the landscape of the rules and regulations, but the landscape of the practice in general. They bring with them a history of how their own career has been shaped by being a woman in the legal profession.
  
  Sponsorships are available. For more information contact the AWL Administrator.
