Mercer Capital is proud to sponsor the 32nd Annual Advanced Estate Planning Strategies course, a live, in-person CLE event held April 23-24, 2026, at the St. Julien Hotel & Spa in Boulder, Colorado. Representing the firm at the event are J. David Smith, CFA, ASA, and Barbara Walters Price.
Presented by TexasBarCLE and cosponsored by the Real Estate, Probate & Trust Law Section of the State Bar of Texas, the course brings together attorneys and advisors for two days of in-depth discussion on advanced estate planning topics. The program features sessions addressing retirement benefits planning under SECURE 2.0, life insurance strategies, multijurisdictional planning considerations, and approaches to minimizing conflict in estate and trust administration.
Attorneys attending the course will be focused on navigating increasingly technical planning issues, from evolving transfer tax rules to the practical challenges of administering complex estates. Mercer Capital regularly supports these efforts through valuation analyses used in estate and gift tax planning, charitable giving, and ownership transitions, helping clients and their advisors make informed decisions in high-stakes situations.
J. David Smith is a Senior Vice President at Mercer Capital with more than 25 years of experience in business valuation. He provides valuation services for tax planning, transactional purposes, and financial reporting with particular experience in industries including financial services, oil and gas, and biotechnology.
Barbara Walters Price serves as Chief Marketing Officer of Mercer Capital and is a member of the firm’s Board of Directors. She leads the firm’s marketing strategy and oversees corporate communications, business development, digital strategy, and thought leadership initiatives.
Mercer Capital looks forward to connecting with attendees and contributing to the discussions at this year’s event. To learn more about this in-person CLE course, visit TexasBarCLE’s website: https://www.TexasBarCLE.com/new/?TransferTo=L23823.
