Building a Bankruptcy Practice from Start to Finish
Join a true Bankruptcy Nerd live over 2 days and power through the program to add a profitable bankruptcy practice to your firm. If you're too busy to actually get through a self-paced course on your own, this gets it done in a weekend.
Why add bankruptcy to your practice
Bankruptcy is a great area to add to your practice. No matter the economic conditions, there are always people who need help with debt. Instead of wasting hours researching, investigating, and trying to figure out all of the details you need to make a profit, this LIVE training walks you through the entire system in just two days, with Jen live to answer your specific questions as you go.

Meet your instructor
I'm a formerly mild mannered bankruptcy attorney (said no one ever), turned super hero for lawyers who want to innovate and move the practice of law forward. Sometimes that means creating new client processes, or coming up with a totally new product, or developing client-friendly packages that make it easy to buy.
As a Bankruptcy Nerd, I founded Jen Lee Law, Inc. and helped individuals and companies with debt, credit, and financial stress before I decided to use my superpowers for the legal business model instead. In my spare time, I love to nerd out on marketing, business development, and law practice management.
I live in Minot, ND with my two girls, Ingrid and Heidi, plus a rotating cast of rescue dogs and cats. Register for the live training and let's build your bankruptcy practice together.
What attorneys are saying
"Building a Bankruptcy Practice from Start to Finish is an indispensable, expertly crafted series that allows practitioners interested in consumer bankruptcy to save time and money by leapfrogging over common new practice pitfalls. The information is clear, concise, and practical."
"Jen is one of the best networkers, innovators, and attorneys I have ever met. My law partner and I recently finished the program. It was thorough and focused a lot of attention on the business aspects of running a bankruptcy practice, which is where most attorneys struggle most. Unlike an MCLE training, you walk away ready to open your bankruptcy practice."

Questions
Why go live instead of the self-paced course?
Because you're busy. Most attorneys buy a self-paced course with good intentions and never finish it. Blocking two days on your calendar for the live training means you actually walk away with the system built, not a login you meant to get back to.
What if I can't make both days live?
No problem. Every registrant gets lifetime access to the session replays, so you can watch or rewatch anything you miss.
What time zone are the sessions in?
All times listed are Central. Day 1 is Friday, September 11 from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM Central. Day 2 is Saturday, September 12 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM Central.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. Payment options, including Klarna and Afterpay, are available at checkout.
What's the deal with the Bankruptcy Toolbox bonus?
Register for the live training by July 31 and you'll get 6 months of Bankruptcy Toolbox (bankruptcytoolbox.com) included free, a $582 value at its regular $97/month price.
I already took the on-demand course or a past live workshop. Do I have to pay again?
No. Past purchasers of Building a Bankruptcy Practice can attend this live session free. Just reach out and we'll get you registered.
