ESQ To Hold Training On Accounting Essentials For Lawyers

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.

According to Lere Fashola, Founder of ESQ Practical Lawyers
Academy, this training will assist lawyers to master the necessary
financial skills to better understand the business of their clients
and the intended outcomes from legal instructions thereby aligning
legal solutions with commercial expectations. Participants will
gain an understanding of financial statements, accounting concepts,
and basic finance. Led by experts, this course gives you a clear
financial information and practical advice about how to apply it in
common client situations. Lere Fashola further stated that the
speakers will explain basic concepts of accounting, generally
accepted accounting standards, and basics of financial statements.
Participants will receive a pro forma set of financial statements
and the faculty gives you a detailed explanation of the various
components. The Speakers will teach Participants how to recognize
“red flags” in financial statements, discuss mistakes made by
lawyers when advising clients, and teach them how to avoid them.
Designed for lawyers of all experience levels, this program will
review which common accounting concepts emerge in legal work and
what lawyers should consider when encountering them.
