What Our Clients SayMost of The AmLaw100 firms use our courses, and the vast majority do so on a repeat basis. Here is what their lawyers say about our live courses: |
|
| Word of mouth spreads quickly even in a large law firm, and the enthusiasm of your students (over one hundred so far!) continues to generate recruits for what is shaping up to be a very long running Program. Your course gives lawyers the basic tools they need to analyze a company's financial status and does an admirable job demonstrating how such an analysis can help in developing a business strategy. | |

Bob Dickie has put together a well planned and highly useful Program.
Sessions are lively and informative owing in large measure to his enthusiasm
and abilities as a teacher. The lawyers who attended the Program varied
significantly in terms of both principal focus of practice and experience.
The reaction to the course was uniformly positive, and each lawyer came
away with a much stronger ability to understand and assess financial statements
and related disclosures.

| We searched for an experienced lawyer - teacher who would teach and challenge some very bright commercial litigators and corporate attorneys on the subjects of complex damage scenarios and corporate finance. Bob Dickie was our finalist, and he delivered. | |

| Your Corporate Finance Program was an extraordinary useful summary of the "hows" and "whys" of the financial analysis of large and small companies. Although pitched to junior partners and senior associates, all who attended, even those of us with more than three decades of experience in the field, as well as some of our most junior associates, found the Program helpful and felt that their ability in the representation of business clients would be improved by your review of financial analysis techniques. I would heartily recommend your Program to others and expect that it will be a regular part of our lawyers training program. | |

| Recognizing and quantifying value created is central to our corporate and commercial practice, whether in securities offerings, business combinations or recapitalizations. Bob Dickie's Creation of Corporate Value Program introduces the analytical tools our clients are using and suggests how these tools may, at a very practical level, be applied in negotiation and documentation to protect our clients' value expectations. | |

| The program presented by Bob Dickie and by Phil Meyer have proven interesting and valuable to me and other lawyers in our firm. The practical insights and the program materials produce returns for a long time after the course is over. Time and money well spent! | |

| In preparing for the Program, we included several of our bankruptcy and reorganization practice lawyers, including me. From the bankruptcy perspective, participation in the Program was invaluable. We were required to and did familiarize ourselves with the disciplines of "numbers crunching" which, for the most part, we tend to leave to our clients and their investment advisors. In addition to the information and skills received, we found the dynamic of firm lawyers working together in joint study and analysis to be another highly rewarding feature of the Program. | |

| Without any doubt The Lawyers Corporate Finance Program was the most enjoyable and most informative seminar that I have attended. I am hopeful that we can get you back from time to time so that our young attorneys will have an opportunity to participate. | |

| This Program gave me powerful new tools for building solid foundations in business litigation. Most litigators don't even know such tools exist, but they help me in knowing my adversary, protecting my client, conducting discovery, and presenting business cases to judges and juries. | |

| Bob Dickie's Corporate Finance Program appeals to lawyers of widely different backgrounds and levels of experience. Our class consisted of business lawyers and litigators, junior associates and experienced partners. Bob's knowledge and teaching methods resulted in a steep learning curve for virtually all of us. We came away with greater skills in understanding the numbers as well as valuable insights into the corporate strategies behind the numbers. | |

| In today's super-heated new issue market, and in thinking about the new economy versus the old economy, it is not only essential but refreshing to participate in your Lawyers' Creation of Corporate Value Program. There may be a difference of view whether we are in a new economic paradigm. Even if we are, we would only know it by using the analytical and common sense tools you provide in your Program. Your Program should be a requirement for any corporate lawyer. | |
