We have have refined the online conference concept into a highly effective training tool which is as far removed from the boring old one-hour/one speaker webinar as it is possible to be. Instead of one speaker, we have 7. By exposing our attendees to a wider variety of voices, they are in turn exposed to a wider range of ideas. Consequently, you can better get to grips with the subject, facilitate a greater understanding of the topic and keep your organisation abreast of fresh and important developments.

There will be sessions on the following topics:

Disciplinary and regulatory issues thrown up by the pandemic

Solicitors Regulatory Authority – what and when to report?

Privilege and regulatory investigations

Non financial misconduct: where next after Frensham v FCA?

Insight and Denials in Fitness to Practise Proceedings

Regulating culture in law firms

Accountants and Auditors

Important Notes about Booking

1. If you are booking more than say 14 delegates, it is probably better to make two bookings of half the number of delegates each, starting with the paying delegate and then adding half the free delegates to that booking and then creating a new booking for the rest of the free delegates. The reason for this is that the booking platform time-out kicks in perhaps too quickly and you can lose all the information you inputted. Alternatively you can book your first delegate and send the names, job titles and email addresses of the additional delegates to us at info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk

2. Payment can be made by credit or debit card or alternatively by invoice. The option to pay by invoice is below the pay by card option in the booking form

3. If you have more than 20 delegates then extra delegates are £20 each. Contact us at info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk to arrange this

4. If you don't have the complete list of who will be attending you can book for those that you know will be attending and add the others at a later date

5. If you would like to submit questions in advance to the speakers please send them to info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk
