New York Medical Malpractice Attorney Jeffrey Bloom to speak at the NYSBA Bridging the Gap Seminar

Our partner Jeffrey Bloom will be speaking about Medical Malpractice at the “Bridging the Gap” Seminar organized by the New York State Bar Association on February 20.

This two-day program dedicated to young attorneys who just finished law school will help them “bridge the gap” between law school and the reality of practicing law in New York State. Participants will built a foundation in the practical skills, techniques, and procedures that are essential to the practice of law.

Jeffrey Bloom will be a member of the program faculty among 12 other lawyers coming from different types of law practices. He will cover the subject of Medical Malpractice. Since graduating from law school in 1979, Jeffrey became one of the most prominent Medical Malpractice Attorneys in New York. He has represented numerous clients who suffered catastrophic personal injury as the result of medical malpractice such as improper care resulting in brain damage and Erb’s palsy or failure to diagnose cancer. He was instrumental in the recent passing of the Lavern Law. He also served as lead counsel representing the Estate of Joan Rivers in a medical malpractice action arising from her death following surgery at an ambulatory surgical center.

The program will cover a broad set of topics such as:

Basics of Criminal Law
New Rent Regulations with a 2020 Landlord Tenant Update
Legal aspect of Social Media
Medical Malpractice (By Jeffrey Bloom)
Alcohol and Substance Abuse in the Legal Profession
What Lawyers Need to Know about Guardianship
Practical Skills on How to Enforce a Judgement in NYS

How to Counsel a Client developing a Start-Up
Ethical Considerations when Representing Small Businesses

Young attorneys who just passed the Bar are required to attend at least 16 transitional Continuous Legal Education (CLE) credit hours during each of the first two years following their Bar admission. This two-day program was specifically crafted for them and covers the 16 credit hours required during the first year of their admission to the New York Bar. It will start Thursday February 20 at 9:00 am and end Friday February 21st at 5:00 pm. The location of the seminar is at the Convene Conference Center at 810 Seventh Avenue (between 52nd and 53rd Street) in Manhattan.
