Beasley Allen will host its third annual continuing education seminar for Alabama attorneys in private practice November 20-21 in Montgomery. The Legal Strategies Conference & Expo (previously known as the Beasley Allen Retreat) is the premiere annual event for lawyers to enhance their knowledge of current legal issues while earning continuing legal education (CLE) credits.

More than 1,000 attorneys are expected to attend the 2009 LSCE, which will be held at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa at the Convention Center. This two-day event is the largest gathering of its kind in the state, and will feature dynamic and inspiring speakers and guests, as well as special events and activities for conference attendees.

Speakers

This year's speakers will include:

• Jere L. Beasley - Founding Shareholder, Beasley Allen
• Greg Cusimano - Sought-after trail consultant, Winning Works LLC
• Morris Dees - Founder and Chief Trial Counsel, Southern Poverty Law Center
• Paul Finebaum - Award-winning journalist and sports commentator

Itinerary

The conference will begin Friday morning, November 20, and continue for a half-day on Saturday. Friday evening will feature a reception and Open House at Alley Station, Montgomery's new downtown dining and entertainment district.

As a result of overwhelming feedback from last year's event, we have created a legal services expo featuring a very limited number of the nation's top legal services providers. The expo provides you the opportunity to learn more about the leading products and services that support our litigation efforts.

Special activities for spouses, children and guests include discounts at the Renaissance Spa; free tickets for the Lightning Route Trolley, which tours a wide variety of downtown attractions; backstage tours at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival; a shopping excursion to PickWick Antiques, and a hands-on cooking demonstration at one of Montgomery's finest restaurants.

Accommodations

Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa at the Convention Center will serve as the host for this year's Legal Strategies Conference and Expo. The 4-star hotel features state-of-the-art "wired" rooms, a rooftop swimming pool, first-class dining, full service spa and alfresco patio bar. Perfectly located in Montgomery's historic downtown, the hotel is directly adjacent to Montgomery's new Alley.

In addition to the Renaissance, our guests will stay at other beautiful properties adjacent to the convention location, including the newly renovated Embassy Suites and the Hampton Inn & Suites boutique hotel, housed in an historic building, as well as a variety of accommodations throughout the city.
