Hey malawyer100

Good to know there are other lawyers pursuing the CFA Program -- I've always felt that the law and finance combination works superbly. As a cap-marks lawyer, I write a lot of MD&A and business sections, so knowing the numbers is critical. As you rightly said, in most jurisdictions, they don't teach even basic finance concepts in law school, so the CFA Program gives us just what we are looking for. Its great to sit alongside a banker and say, "buddy, I know the numbers as well as you do".

I am sure you know the advantage of this program on the M&A side -- being on top of all the valuation impacters is heart of M&A -- along side the legal execution.

I hope we turn out to be a more refined breed of lawyers -- who can add much to legal and finance aspects of a deal. Although I find that my colleagues and partners don't seem to know the value of the CFA charter as much.

Best of luck on the result -- and do drop me a line - stevenevans1983@gmail.com

Let's keep in touch

Cheers

Steven
