EquestrianProfessional.com will host a free equine law seminar at 1:00 p.m. EST on Dec. 14.  Equine law attorney Julie I. Fershtman will discuss equine law and answer questions during the seminar titled, “What Every Horse Business Person Needs to Know About the Law.”

Fershtman will discuss topics such as:

•    If barn visitors or clients can sue after an accident, even if they signed a liability release or your state offer protections under Equine Activity Liability Laws.
•    Personal liability under an LLC and protection through business contracts
•    Liability if a horse is injured while on trial and how to protect yourself in a dispute over a horse sale.
•    Who is liable if an employee acts negligent.
•    What to do if someone hurts your business because of slander.

Fershtman advises equestrians in personal injury liability, and in partnership, business and sales disputes.  Her clients include equine associations, businesses, show management, insurance companies, professional riders and trainers.
