On Dec. 14 EquestrianProfessional.com will continue its horse business seminar series with "What Every Equine Business Person Needs to Know About the Law." The guest speaker will be renowned equine law expert and author Julie I. Fershtman, attorney at law.

According to the seminar organizers, Fershtman is one of the most experienced and accomplished Equine Law practitioners in the nation. Crossing virtually all equine breeds and disciplines, her law practice serves a clientele of stables, industry professionals, associations, businesses, show management, insurance companies, trainers, equestrian athletes including Olympic short-list riders, "celebrity clinicians," and individual horse owners from across the United States. She is highly experienced in handling a wide variety of disputes frequently encountered in the horse industry, including personal injury, business conflicts, partnership disputes, sales disputes, and many others. Her expertise in contract drafting helps her clients avoid later disputes.

Fershtman is the author of three books: (1) Equine Law & Horse Sense (1996); (2) MORE Equine Law & Horse Sense (2000); and (3) Litigating Animal Law Disputes: A Complete Guide for Lawyers (2009). The third book was published by the American Bar Association. In addition, EquestrianProfessional.com said Fershtman is the nation's most sought after speaker on Equine Law with engagements in 27 states, including: the annual conventions of the American Horse Council, U.S. Dressage Federation, U.S. Pony Clubs, North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, American Youth Horse Council, American Paint Horse Association, American Riding Instructors Association, and American Morgan Horse Association, along with Equitana USA (Kentucky and California), Equine Affaire (Ohio, California, and Massachusetts), and the National Conference on Equine Law.
