A Practical Look at Tennessee Statute of Limitations

Thursday August 27, 2026 1:15pm - 2:15pm PDT

Embassy Suites- Broadlands B

This program provides a practical, risk-focused overview of statutes of limitations under Tennessee law, with an emphasis on avoiding missed deadlines that can jeopardize client interests and expose firms to malpractice risk. Designed for attorneys, paralegals, and support staff alike, the program explains key statute of limitations concepts, highlights commonly encountered Tennessee deadlines, and addresses frequent pitfalls such as accrual errors, incorrect tolling assumptions, and calendar mistakes. Through real-world examples and interactive hypotheticals, participants will gain a clearer understanding of how statutes of limitations affect daily practice and how effective teamwork, intake procedures, and docketing systems can help prevent costly errors.
