Starting Strong: What New Lawyers Need to Know About Student Loan Solutions

This 90-minute CLE seminar provides young attorneys with a holistic financial roadmap, moving beyond simple debt management to address the structural integrity of their entire financial plan—from cash flow design and combating lifestyle creep to strategically deploying savings. Led by veteran bankruptcy attorney Renée Kuperman, Esq., and student loan expert Geoff Urquhart of RefiDesk, the program offers a framework for navigating the complex interplay between career path and repayment strategy, emphasizing that the "right" answer depends on whether a lawyer is in public service, private practice, or an uncertain trajectory. Attendees will receive critical guidance on the upcoming 2026–2028 Federal Loan Reset, learn when to preserve federal flexibility versus refinance, and understand how borrowing decisions impact broader goals like home buying and retirement, all while ensuring their financial choices support both professional competence and long-term wellbeing.
