Family Business Exchange | Webinar: 2026 Legal Year in Review

About this event

Event Description

The Family Business Exchange is joined by Michelle Bomberger, Founder and CEO of Equinox Business Law Group, for a timely year-end review of the legal developments shaping the business landscape, and what family business owners should be thinking about as they head into 2027.

From changes affecting employees and hiring practices to evolving rules around contracts, compliance, and business risk, 2026 brought a number of legal developments with real implications for business owners. Michelle will break down the changes that matter most, translate them into practical considerations for your business, and highlight steps leaders can take now to prepare for the year ahead.

Designed specifically for business owners and leaders, this session will help you separate the legal headlines from the issues that deserve your attention. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of where your business may need to take action in 2027.
