Attorneys and other staff members from Steinbacher, Goodall & Yurchak conduct a number of speaking engagements each month, including speaking at the firm's own seminars and outside events. Here's a summary of the firm's speaking engagements from the second quarter of 2020 (April - June), which coincided with the move to virtual events due to COVID-19. If you weren't able to attend, or even if you were but would like to hear the presentation again, you're in luck. One of the positive things that has come out of the need to shift to virtual, is we are now able to record all of our virtual seminars and put them up for anyone to view later at their convenience.
