CLE and logistics

CLE-ready and easy to work with

When a program runs through accredited sponsors such as the Beverly Hills Bar, Los Angeles County Bar, or AAML, attendees receive California CLE credit. For private firm trainings, we bring a ready-to-use CLE packet your coordinator or accredited firm can file in any jurisdiction that allows self-reporting.

  • Agendas, learning objectives, and rosters written in CLE-friendly language.
  • Attendance templates and automation-ready exports for coordinators.
  • Filing guidance tuned for accredited providers and states that allow self-report.

If your firm already has in-house CLE provider status, we'll work with your training team so the program drops cleanly into your existing process.
