Law school taught you how to think like a lawyer.
But did it teach you how to practice like one?



On Sept. 5 the University of Miami School of Law‘s Transactional Skills Program—together with the Florida Bar Corporate Counsel Committee and the Miami-Dade Bar Corporate Counsel Committee—is convening a hands-on, interactive Bootcamp.



Who’s it for?

  • Outside counsel looking to better serve corporate clients.
  • In-house lawyers who want to sharpen their business edge.
  • Junior lawyers eager to build confidence.
  • Seasoned attorneys who just need a smart refresher.


Here’s what’s waiting for you:

  • AI Prompt-a-thon – Forget the tired “hallucinations” talk. Learn practical AI strategies from someone who actually trains law firm partners. Walk away with prompts and workflows you can use immediately.
  • Business & Financial Literacy – When I went in-house, I had to take a 3-day “Accounting for Lawyers” course just to catch up. We’ll give you the essentials in one session from a former BigLaw partner, an in house lawyer from one of the largest business insurers, and an accountant—so you can speak the language of your business clients.
  • Clauses that Matter – Poor drafting can cost millions (and AI cut-and-paste won’t save you). Hear what counsel zero in on and how to avoid those mistakes.
  • Luncheon Keynote— Laura Frederick , CEO of How to Contract. She’s changing the way lawyers think about contracts worldwide and sharing her perspective with us.
  • Key Contracts Every Lawyer Should Master – Not a “how-to” drafting class. Instead, learn how to uplevel your reading, redlining, and risk-spotting on the contracts you see every day or soon will.
  • Live Negotiation with Heavy-Hitter GCs – Watch seasoned in-house counsel go toe-to-toe. See their strategies, hear their playbook, and reflect on what it reveals about your own negotiation style in a fun, engaging close out.



Throughout the day we will have hands-on redlining & revisions and a detailed glossary of key terms & resources you’ll actually keep using Food, networking, & cocktails while the traffic dies down (because, Miami 🏝️)
