To be effective, training needs to be relevant to the work lawyers do on a day to day basis; be topical, timely, regular and in manageable amounts to make sure of retention and be supported after the training event.

Our in-house programmes are designed to be exactly this, with the focus on each course being tailored to our client’s own documents, procedures and typical practical scenarios. Please use the links on the right to view illustrative programmes. Please note that the list is not exhaustive and if there is any programme you would like covered, please do not hesitate to ask us.

We have set these up in response to a number of requests from the following legal professionals:

• Existing law firm clients who have missed their firm’s in-house course(s) who do not want to wait for the programme to be run in-house again;
• Professional Support Lawyers/ Knowledge Management Lawyers who wish to keep abreast of accounting issues on a more timely basis;
• In-house lawyers who want a better financial understanding of the various transactions they may work on;
• Barristers, Counsel and Company Secretaries who have attended client presentations given by us;
• Lawyers from firms who are not existing clients who do not have sufficient numbers or specific accounting issues to justify an in-house session.

How are these courses different from other public courses? The key features include:

• they are only 2 hours, first thing in the morning, to minimise time away from the office;
• delegate numbers will be limited to a maximum of 12 so as to ensure the programmes are interactive;
• courses will be held even if there is only one participant;
• we are a leading provider of in-house financial courses for law firms and so this is what we do on a daily basis (see ‘About Us’); and
• courses are held in one of the conference rooms in our central London offices to keep costs to a minimum.
