Description
An understanding of key financial, accounting and economic concepts, principles and terminology will contribute to your ability to interact with and advise your clients with their critical issues. The ability to identify and appropriately use financial and accounting information is relevant to a wide range of legal and regulatory matters for both external and in-house attorneys. Litigators and transactional attorneys alike will benefit from this practical course designed specifically for non-accountant attorneys and allied professionals and taught by members of the nation’s top accounting, tax and advisory firms, major alternative asset managers and investment banks, leading law firms and universities.
Case studies will be incorporated throughout the various segments to provide you with a practical perspective on how business transactions impact financial statements and offer “hands-on” experience with performing financial ratio calculations and analysis, comparisons of different capital structures, effective use of financial statement disclosures and footnotes, legal issues and use of valuations in M&A litigation, and more.
