Presenter: Timothy F. Fallon, Esq.

Managing Partner, Upper Charles Law Group, LLC | Lexington, Massachusetts


Every recommendation you make, from evaluating a hazard tree to preparing a proposal or advising a homeowner, has the potential to create legal liability. As today's tree care industry faces increasing scrutiny, understanding your legal responsibilities has never been more important.

Join attorney Timothy F. Fallon for a practical program designed specifically for tree care professionals. Drawing on his extensive experience representing businesses and litigating commercial and residential tree disputes, Tim will discuss the legal issues that can affect arborists every day.

You'll learn how to reduce risk when providing professional advice, navigate complex questions surrounding tree ownership and property boundaries, strengthen contracts and documentation, and better understand the role of insurance in protecting your business. Through real-world examples and practical guidance, you'll gain strategies you can put to work immediately.

Whether you own a company, manage operations, supervise crews, or work directly with clients, this session will help you recognize potential legal pitfalls before they become costly problems.
