Doylestown, PA – Antheil Maslow & MacMinn, LLP is proud to announce that Partners Lisa A. Bothwell and Melanie J. Wender will be featured presenters at the Bucks County Bar Association’s Bench Bar Conference on September 19, 2025. Bothwell, a member of the firm’s Business & Finance group, and Wender, a member of the Family Law group, will join the Honorable Denise Bowman and Mindy J. Snyder, Esquire for a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) program hosted by the Women Lawyers’ Division.
The panel discussion, entitled “It Ends With Us: The Evolution of a Smear Campaign,” will explore a litigation case study drawn from the year’s pop culture headlines, including high-profile celebrities and the Marvel franchise.
