Associates Need Financial Savvy: Ten Concepts Managing Partners Wish Associates Knew Better
May 31, 2007
A solid grasp of financial and accounting fundamentals can enormously enhance the value of a young attorney's work product. I often saw evidence of this in my previous legal administrator role for a 50-attorney Denver law firm. In my current CPA practice, in which I serve more than 20 law firms on an ongoing basis, I see the same pattern in working closely with attorneys on tax planning and compliance, financial reporting, fraud investigations, forensic accounting, and business appraisals.

During the early 1990s, Ontario refreshed its legislation, and other Canadian provinces soon followed with their own acts that were modeled on but not the same as the Ontario PPSA.

  • Divorce Lawyers' Obligation to Children
    Do divorce lawyers have an obligation to disclose client confidences when it is in the best interests of the client's child to do so?
