From Law School Debt to Financial Confidence
Speaker: Mark Binder
Date: May 13th, 2026
Time: 12:00pm CST
Many lawyers begin their careers carrying significant student debt and, as their income grows, find themselves uncertain about how to manage, protect, and plan with that money – often while navigating very different employment and practice structures. This financial wellness session is designed to support lawyers at any stage of their career who want greater clarity and confidence in their financial decisions, regardless of how their work is structured.
This practical session will explore common financial pressures in the profession, including debt repayment, lifestyle inflation, competing priorities, and long-term planning, while acknowledging that financial realities can look different from employed lawyers, those in private practice, partnerships, or incorporated arrangements. Rather than focusing on individualized financial advice, the session takes a high level, reflective approach to financial decision-making. Participant questions submitted in advance will help shape the content, allowing the session to address shared themes and real concerns in a large-group virtual setting.
Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to approach financial decisions with intention, align money choices with personal values and goals, and reduce financial stress – so finances become a source of stability rather than added pressure, both personally and professionally.
