This CLE is hosted by the MBA Family Law Section. FLS Members can register for a discounted rate of $15. Program Overview On August 12, 2026, the NC Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling in Sneed v. Sneed which will forever change the precedent for determining the marital and separate portions of business goodwill in equitable distribution and eliminates the “double-dip” risk in alimony determinations.  The program will explain goodwill and how it can be bifurcated between enterprise goodwill, personal goodwill, and purely personal goodwill. The program will be presented by Greg Reagan who was the testifying expert in the Sneed v. Sneed trial court case and his associate Ann Marie Williams who will together discuss in detail how personal goodwill was determined in the Sneed case and how this new NC Supreme Court ruling will affect equitable distribution and alimony determinations in the future. The views and opinions of MBA CLEs are not necessarily those of the Mecklenburg Bar Association/26th Judicial District Bar. Schedule: Tuesday, December 1, 2026 Location: Zoom
