Join us for our second advanced retreat designed especially for the more experienced paralegal or legal assistant! This program will focus on workers' comp issues that may or may not have a personal injury component. If you have five years or more experience, this event will prove to be a true getaway while providing you with the knowledge and skills to take back to the office on Monday. We have special treats planned along with opportunities to win great prizes.

Enjoy the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains while you share ideas and learn new skills along with your peers. Meals are included, parking is free, plus we have special events planned to make this a true retreat.

Due to the sensitive nature of the material provided in this program, attendance is restricted to those who work with claimants or plaintiffs only.
