The purpose of this meeting was to teach the basics of financing law firms to those who are not yet or just about to become partners of law firms. This is all the more important because most partners of law firms admit that they have no idea about the actual economic conditions of a law firm when they join. This is not helpful either for negotiating entry conditions or for assuming management responsibility in law firms. Therefore, Christoph H. Vaagt and Thorsten Zulauf became speakers and moderators for this event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Information of not-yet or just-new-partners of law firms about the basics of financing of law firms.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lawfirmchange.com\/en\/blog\/events\/\"><strong>All Events <span style=\"color: #f8ab35;\">&gt;<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2074,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[225],"tags":[255],"class_list":["post-5450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","tag-events-c-h-vaagt"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.8 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Fundamentals of the financing of law firms\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Christoph H.
