Business lawyers, corporate lawyers, family law practitioners, and litigators often find themselves challenged to decipher financial statements and explain their meaning to clients, or use accounting information to prove a case or impeach a witness. While engaging an accounting expert is sometimes an option, there is often not the time or availability to access that advice.

Whatever their specialty, lawyers must understand financial concepts to understand their client’s goals, and the interests of other parties to the deal. Every lawyer must be able to spot accounting issues and provide fast and practical counsel. Attend this program and get the knowledge you need to advise your clients with confidence.
