April 18, 2024: Financial Empowerment for Women in Law
Presented by Niraj Chhabra and Jessica Medina
Financial planning is different for men and women in the legal profession as it is elsewhere. Women often face the challenge of balancing career with family, historically have made less money and therefore earn less in social security, live longer, and are often the ones who care for aging parents. Join us for this new and thought-provoking class that addresses these concerns and other potential financial concerns women attorneys face, including the following:
- Education planning
- Preparing to be a caretaker for parents
- Life insurance & protection planning
- Retirement planning
- Budgeting
- Tax reduction strategies
While this class focuses on issues women in the legal community face, it should be of interest to all attorneys.
