In this session, two top attorneys will walk through what actually happens when business issues turn into legal disputes — and how to protect yourself before they do.
Featured Speakers:
Kate Vescera
Business Litigation & Transactional Attorney
Kate works with companies of all sizes — from publicly traded firms to closely held businesses — handling complex legal matters including breach of contract, partnership and shareholder disputes, employment litigation, real estate issues, and trade secret claims.
She brings a practical, real-world perspective on where business relationships break down — and what that looks like when it turns into litigation.
Brad Barth
Brad is a partner with the asset protection & estate planning firm BarthCalderon LLP.
Brad has spent decades helping business owners structure and protect their assets — ensuring that when legal issues arise, they don’t extend beyond the business and into personal wealth.
What You’ll Learn:
-
The most common types of business disputes — and how they start
-
Where contracts, partnerships, and internal relationships fail
-
How litigation unfolds — and what it actually impacts
-
Where business owners are unknowingly exposed
-
How to structure your business and assets to contain risk
This is not a theoretical discussion.
It’s a practical look at how real-world business issues turn into legal problems — and what you can do now to stay protected.
If you run a business with contracts, partners, employees, or real estate involved…
This is a conversation worth being in.
Because it’s not just about growing the business.
It’s about protecting what happens when something goes wrong.

A single lawsuit can wipe out years of hard-earned equity if your rental properties are not properly structured and insured. Tenant injuries, habitability claims, contractor accidents, and even personal guarantees can expose not just your properties, but your personal assets, if your legal and insurance protections are not aligned.
In this presentation, asset-protection attorney Harry Barth, Esq. (Founder, BarthCalderon LLP), will explain how rental housing providers actually lose everything in litigation, and how to prevent it.
This session will cover:
-
How lawsuits reach beyond your rental property and into your personal assets
-
The difference between inside liability (property-based risks) and outside liability (personal exposure)
-
How to structure LLCs so they actually work when tested in court
-
Why insurance that does not match your ownership structure can fail when you need it most
-
Coverage gaps that leave landlords exposed, including environmental, rent-loss, and ordinance-and-law risks
-
How layered strategies combining legal entities and insurance dramatically reduce risk
