Ridgefield Chamber Event: Economist Seminar
As I’ve said before, I am not an economist but occasionally play one on this blog (though I’m always conscious of my amateur status in the field).
Imagine my pleasure, therefore, of attending the informal “seminar” conducted by a REAL economist, Nicholas Perna, at the Ridgefield Chamber’s “Rise & Shine” breakfast earlier this week. Dr. Perna was able to side-step ideology and talk “real” economics, not only in an understandable fashion, but also with humor.
Our law practice, like any small business, is directly impacted by key economic trends. We also have to manage our practice around those trends. For example, last year, there was a drop in real estate transactions, while there was an increase in employees contacting us to review severance agreements. In Big Law, outright layoffs and the rescinding of job offers to graduates were even better evidence.
So, in addition to being informative and entertaining, the Rise and Shine breakfast was directly on point. My thanks to Dr. Perna and the Chamber.
