It is with great pride that we announce that our very own Sean Ponist will be speaking at the Litigation Counsel of America 2019 Spring Conference & Celebration of Fellows. Only one-half of one percent of American lawyers are invited to be a part of the Litigation Counsel of America, an invitation-only trial lawyer honorary society.
Join us on April 17, 2019 in San Francisco to hear from Sean Ponist and other leading real estate attorneys as they discuss recovering of real estate damages. This legal education seminar is sponsored by the Bar Association of San Francisco who is hosting the event.
This seminar examines real estate damages arising from disputes before and after closing. This is the first in a two-part series and focuses on damages; the second will focus on real estate remedies.
