This sophisticated four-day program emphasizes skills development, with participants learning to apply their legal expertise to help public and private sector companies achieve corporate business objectives.

Program participants will learn to offer legal advice that enables the achievement of business goals, understand financial reporting and the financial impact of legal advice, work effectively with interdisciplinary teams and internal clients, frame advice for maximum impact, and build relationships with key decision-makers. The four-day program takes place January 28 - January 31, 2019 at the Pepperdine University Drescher graduate campus and includes an opening night dinner featuring keynote speaker Tom Stipanowich, Professor of Law and Dean of the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution.
