Lawyers in Colorado are lucky to be able to access a wide variety of continuing legal education (CLE) programs locally to stay current on fast-moving issues and deepen their knowledge of areas of the law relevant to their practices.

Many business professionals don't ever hear about these events because they are often marketed solely to the legal community. However, many CLE programs are open to the public and offer valuable insight on matters that non-lawyers face daily. They also enable professionals to meet and network with subject matter experts who live and work in Colorado. These programs are typically one-off events that last as little as one hour.

Here are a few upcoming events in November that may be of interest to the entrepreneurial community:

Crash Course: Automating Contracts presented by Colorado Law (Silicon Flatirons Center); Monday November 10th (6:15pm - 7:45pm).

Real Estate Joint Ventures presented by Colorado Bar Association CLE; Tuesday, November 11th (11:00am - 12:00pm) and Wednesday, November 12th (11:00am - 12:00pm).
