For Greg, Partner at Werge & Corbin Law Group, teaching has always been appealing.
“Throughout my career, I’ve practiced law with a teaching mentality, ensuring my clients fully understand their business decisions so they can make informed choices. Transitioning to the classroom felt like a natural extension of that approach.”
At DU’s Sturm College of Law, Greg teaches Corporate Drafting, a practical course designed to prepare future transactional attorneys. The class focuses on translating business deals into clear, enforceable contract terms.
“It’s not just about writing legal agreements,” said Greg “It’s about understanding the business behind them, identifying risks, and crafting documents that serve both legal and business objectives. That’s what good lawyers do.”
As attorneys, Greg believes we have a duty to give back to our community. For some, that means sitting on nonprofit boards or running a small firm. For others, it means pro bono work or mentoring young lawyers. For Greg, it’s also about preparing the next generation to succeed in the legal field.
“Watching students develop their skills, gain confidence in their abilities, and prepare for their careers is incredibly fulfilling.”
Teaching this course has been an eye-opening experience for Greg as well. With only 12 students, the setting is intimate, allowing for deep discussions and personalized mentorship. What stands out to Greg the most is their passion for this work.
“These students genuinely want to be great lawyers, and their curiosity is inspiring. Their enthusiasm for learning keeps me energized and reminds me why I fell in love with the law in the first place.”
This experience has reinforced the idea that knowledge should be shared. Whether it’s with clients, colleagues, or students, passing on expertise ensures that the legal profession continues to evolve with informed, thoughtful, and dedicated professionals!
