Managing Lawyers & Legal Fees

Accountants are often involved in engaging, selecting, supervising and working with lawyers from law firms, and in large organizations, inside counsel.  This can be expensive and frustrating  and slow and leaves the feeling that the area is out of control.

        
This course provides dozens of tips to help you in this domain. It even helps in dealing with internal lawyers, where you are not worried about a bill, but must overcome delays. 

Applicable for: Any CPAs who ever deal with lawyers, external or internal
