Why I Created
Tees and CLEs

Last year, as I walked out of yet another disappointing CLE, I found myself thinking, “there has to be a better way to do this.” The suit and tie networking felt forced, yielding virtually no meaningful connections, the speakers were dry and overly academic, and I left feeling my time and money were wasted. Worst of all, the daily schedule ran from eight in the morning to five in the evening, leaving no time to breathe, connect, or enjoy yourself outside the dingy conference room. The costs piled up too—paying a couple thousand dollars for the CLE programming, another thousand dollars for a below average hotel, and a few hundred bucks for a flight.

I knew I wanted a better CLE. I’ve always enjoyed golfing with other lawyer friends of mine as a way to relax and talk about our professional lives. After all, the golf course is a natural place for networking and having genuine conversations. I searched the internet to find a CLE that incorporated golfing, but to my surprise, my search came up empty. At that moment Tees and CLEs was born.

Tees and CLEs is a modern, reimagined CLE experience that fixes all of the things you hate about other CLE events. First, we ditched the subpar accommodations and replaced them with a top notch luxury resort that you won’t want to leave. Second, we carefully planned our CLE sessions to never run more than half a day, so you’re not stuck sitting through long, draining presentations that suck up your entire day. This leaves plenty of time to hang out with other attendees, build real connections, or even spend time with family if they’re along for the trip. And feel free to leave your suit at home–this event is business casual with golf attire encouraged! Tees and CLEs wouldn’t be complete without playing a tournament-style scramble that brings natural networking into the fold.

Best of all, it’s practically all-inclusive. Your registration covers admission to all CLE sessions, lodging during the event, and your golf round on one of the best courses in America—no hidden fees or upcharges. We’ve taken care of the details so you can focus on learning, connecting, and enjoying the game.

1:15 PM -

CLE Session 1 (4 Hours): New & Emerging Topics

This session is all about getting up-to-speed on the most impactful recent changes in the legal landscape. We've brought in the experts to make this first session impactful and exciting.

6:30 PM -
8:00 PM

Cocktail Reception

What better way to start a networking event than free drinks on us? We will have a premium selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for you to unwind with. This is one of many networking opportunities in a suitable environment that brings people together naturally instead of at a lunch table in a conference room.

​We will have light bites from the culinary masters at the Arizona Grand. The Grand boasts the region's only AAA Four-Diamond all-suite resort and the food overdelivers on its promise!

7:00 AM - 8:00 AM

Networking Breakfast

Recharge for the day with a robust breakfast before the CLE sessions begin. We will serve breakfast outdoors on the patio so you can soak up the beautiful Arizona spring climate. Coffee? We have tons. Pastries? You bet. Real meats? Bacon, ham, eggs, sausage--you name it. Don't forget about the juicy fruit to add some sweetness before taking on a session of CLEs.

Stay out a little late last night? That's ok. While the main spread will close down at the start of the CLE session, we will keep light refreshments available to keep you going!

8:00 AM -
12:00 PM

CLE Session 2 (4 Hours): A Deep Dive into Business Law Matters

The second CLE session of the event will be substantive material sure to spark conversations and debate on the tee box. These speakers are going to bring it! We are bringing the energy to get all attendees prepared for our inaugural golf round for Tees & CLEs.

1:30 PM -
6:30 PM

Golf Round / Challenges

Bring your A-game to the Arizona Grand's par 71 course. Our Best Ball (best two scores) style tournament kicks off with a shotgun start so that no attendees are waiting for a tee time.

​Get dialed in for our Closest-to-the-Pin challenge for your chance to win a new Scotty Cameron putter! Make your shot count, because that is the only chance you get... unless you upgrade to VIP and get an extra ball for the challenge!

​Show off that work you've been putting in at the gym by competing in our Long Drive Competition. This is a one-ball challenge to win a new driver! If you upgrade to VIP, you'll receive an extra ball and chance to win.

​The challenges are great, but this part of the event is about networking in a comfortable environment. Real business is conducted on the golf course--not in 15-minute lunch networking sessions. Make connections, win prizes, and have fun. That's the goal.

After-Hours (optional)​

Networking at the Speakeasy

The networking doesn't have to end at the course. Take a seat in the speakeasy lounge only steps from the clubhouse to continue the fun and conversation. Check out the pretzel bites with bacon cheddar dip while you are there--if they aren't the best pretzel bites you've ever had, we will pay for them!

7:00 AM - 8:00 AM

Networking Breakfast

Fuel your swing with a great breakfast before the morning CLE sessions and afternoon golf round begin. Make a southwestern breakfast burrito to get in the zone for Arizona golf.

​Stay out a little late last night, again? That's ok. While the main spread will close down at the start of the CLE session, we will keep light refreshments available to keep you going

8:00 AM - 
12:00 PM

CLE Session 3 (4 Hours): Legal Changes on the Horizon and How You Can Prepare

The last CLE session is here. We are starting the morning by hitting ethics bright and early. We will round out the CLE sessions with some forward-looking discussions about what is on the horizon in the practice of law.

12:00 PM

Dismissal

We are ending our inaugural event at noon on a Friday so that you can enjoy your weekend in Phoenix, if you choose! Explore the city, find a good restaurant, take in a D-Backs game, or find your next tee time--the whole point of ending before the weekend is to allow you to set your own schedule for the weekend ahead.

12:30 PM
​(VIP-Only)

VIP Golf Round

But wait THERE'S MORE! For our VIP attendees, we are headed off-site to a championship golf course. This is the ultimate opportunity to network with other VIPs and our speakers during a VIP-only golf round.

​Who knows what other surprises might be in store!
