EstrinLegal Paralegal Superconference in Nashville February 4th and 5th!
EstrinLegal's Paralegal Superconference was held at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel on February 4th and 5th. Attendees were able to attend a variety of workshops covering topics such as e-Discovery, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, UCC, trial preparation, corporate maintenance and more. Although this was the first year for Nashville to be the site of a Superconference, turnout was impressive and we are looking forward to next year's event being even better.
