Our experienced lawyers provide in-house training for functional business managers and also for central support functions, in a wide range of industries and organisations. We are happy to work with you to develop bespoke seminars on particular topics, and/or to deliver via webinar where the framework of the course allows.

In this particular session, our lawyers can deliver an interactive course, with group exercises based on a case study. While these workshops will be tailored to suit the business, a typical session will cover the legal steps and process concerning:
