Attorneys from Englander & Chicoine P.C. and other notable land use practitioners will discuss the following topics that will enable you to create a more effective survey, which may help parties avoid litigation or prevail on disputed claims. Learn why this is MALSCE’s most popular seminar year-after-year.

Featured Topics Include:

• Unique Title Insurance Issues

• An Update on Relevant Massachusetts Cases

Please note that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists anywhere other people are present, and even precautionary measures such as masking and social distancing cannot completely eliminate this risk. Any person who chooses to travel to participate in this in-person Massachusetts Association of Land Surveyors and Civil Engineers (MALSCE) seminar assumes all risks arising from that decision. All participants must agree to comply with all safety procedures established by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as any other protocols put in place by MALSCE, the host sites, travel facilities, or any other applicable authorities. These precautions currently include an expectation that all seminar registrants who plan to attend are self-attesting that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and agreeing to wear a mask in all Conference Center common areas. These requirements may be updated between now and the seminar.
