About this course

Mastering Money Matters – Practical Finance Skills for Lawyers is a one-hour on-demand webinar presented by Kel Galavan MSc QFA. Developed specifically with legal professionals in mind, this session focuses on the real-world financial challenges faced by those working in the legal sector.

Originally delivered as part of our end-of-year CPD online conference, this webinar combines expert-led presentation with a Q&A session, where Kel responds directly to questions raised by legal professionals attending the conference.

The session is supported by a comprehensive slide deck and an accompanying workbook, both of which delegates can download and retain as practical reference tools. The content goes beyond theory, equipping participants with clear, actionable financial knowledge they can apply immediately, both personally and professionally.

Delegates can watch the webinar at their own pace, gain a CPD hour, and come away with a stronger understanding of budgeting, saving, investing and retirement planning within an Irish financial context.

Why choose this course

This course is ideal for legal professionals who want to move beyond “earning well” to managing money well, gaining clarity, confidence and control over their financial future.

Designed for busy legal professionals – clear, practical guidance without unnecessary jargon.

Practical, not theoretical – real examples demonstrating the long-term impact of financial decisions.

Relevant to every career stage – from early career budgeting to long-term retirement planning.

I enjoyed this presentation as it reinforced that you have to start factoring in yourself and making the right decisions for yourself now for the future.

Almost always as lawyers we watch out for our client and help them make the right decisions through our advice but we are not good at focusing on that same advice when it applies to ourselves.
