Three Session Series: September 19, 2017 @ 1 PM (ET), October 3, 2017 @ 1 PM and October 17, 2017 @ 1 PM (ET)
Business leaders often become frustrated with lawyers, whether in-house or external, for not having the ability to be conversant in basic business terms or understanding the financial data on which so many business decisions are made. Attorneys often do not have a working knowledge of the numbers backing those decisions, how those figures were reached, and how to accurately interpret and discuss them. In these three sessions, you will learn accounting terms important to the lawyer; how to read and interpret a financial statement, business terms and other jargon to help you converse with the CFO and other executives in their language; and how to use these critical skills when negotiating a contract, M&A deal, or other agreement.
