Brooklyn Law School hosts fifth annual business boot camp
Brooklyn Law School (BLS) hosted its annual Business Boot Camp, a four-day “mini MBA” winter session course that is led by Professor Michael Gerber. The event was held in collaboration with Deloitte Financial Advisory Services and John P. Oswald, ’84, president and CEO of the Capital Trust Group and a member of the school’s board of trustees.
One of the biggest complaints among law students is that law school teaches the law, but does not provide the skills necessary to run a practice. This program attempts to provide that service and gives students intensive instruction in developing a business plan; reading financial statements; valuing assets; raising capital to create and run a company; and meeting business goals.
