Join Memphis tax attorney and financial educator Brooke Benjamin Kelley on Sept. 24 for "Beyond the Billable Hour: Building Financial Freedom Throughout Your Legal Career." This one-hour webcast will air from noon to 1 p.m. CDT. While law school teaches how to analyze risk, very few lawyers are taught how to analyze financial risk. Yet, the financial decisions made every day can have a lasting impact on careers, family and overall well-being. According to PwC's 2026 Employee Financial Wellness Survey, 57% of employees identified finances as their greatest life stressor, ranking above work, health and relationships. For a profession already known for high levels of stress and burnout, financial wellness is more than a personal issue — it is an important part of building a sustainable and fulfilling legal career. Whether managing student loans, thinking about buying a home, planning for retirement, or simply trying to make more confident financial decisions, this session is for you.
