The Corporate Department conducts an extensive classroom training program. Courses are taught by partners, experienced associates and outside experts in disciplines such as accounting and economics. Instructors prepare detailed materials, which are used both in the training program and for later reference. Some classes cover basic subjects that are important to new corporate lawyers, while other classes provide detailed instruction in specific areas of the Firm's corporate practice that are helpful for lawyers at all levels.
