SUMMARY:Mini MBA for Paralegals
DESCRIPTION:Paralegals are expected to manage cap tables\, catch chain-of-title errors\, and sit in on due diligence calls\, yet most were never taught the business fundamentals behind any of it. \nThis program gives paralegals the cross-functional business fluency to move beyond completing tasks and become indispensible members of the deal team. \nAcross six hours\, you’ll move beyond procedure and into the language of business itself: the entity structures\, financial statements\, deal mechanics\, firm economics\, IT risk\, and ethical guardrails that attorneys assume paralegals already understand (and too often don’t have time to teach). Learn to spot a chain-of-title gap before it becomes a closing-day emergency\, read a client’s balance sheet without waiting for the attorney to translate it\, and flag a phishing attempt before it becomes a breach notification. Gain the business perspective to anticipate needs\, ask better questions\, and become an even more valuable member of the legal team.
