To effectively advise their corporate clients, in-house counsel need to speak management's language and know how to apply key financial concepts in giving legal advice about public reporting, corporate transactions, litigation and legal compliance. This year's Lawyer's MBA will be presented at a 101 level and will focus on the basics of financial accounting, valuing a business, structuring an acquisition and investor relations and shareholder activism. Attendees will participate in workshops with experienced legal practitioners and financial specialists to give them the opportunity to apply these concepts in the management reporting and M&A contexts so when they take these concepts back to the office they will have already worked through them. 

This is the forth in the series of “MBA” courses designed to provide insight and training on critical legal/business concepts to in-house lawyers, specifically including those that either may not be previously familiar with this subject matter, or are not focused primarily on this area of practice. This year, they offer a 101 level training.
