Get an annual Continuing Competence CPD subscription covering all topics at an unrivalled price that includes all past seminars and our Spring and Autumn 2022 collections.

We are very excited to announce this year’s full programme of speakers and topics to feature in our Spring 2022 collection of continuing competence CPD video training seminars.

This comprehensive and flexible package has been designed by specialist lawyers to present all new law essential updates across five key practice areas, including the most vital and essential updates while demonstrating the fusions and overlaps between crime, immigration, housing, family and human rights law that the modern firm must have a full grasp of throughout their teams.

As today’s clients will present many cross-boundary factors in their instructions to you, being ahead of potential pitfalls and on top of all relevant caselaw is every human rights lawyer’s duty in the modern arena, hence the carefully structured content in our Spring 2022 Collection, which you can view below.

We are excited to demonstrate how Law Friends works. We use the very best presenting specialists. In this package, we are delighted to present Marc Willers QC, previous Head of Chambers at Garden Court, who will talk on the Police Act, Gavin Kendall, one of London’s most experienced police station lawyers, and Judge Stephen Knight from One Pump Court presenting on People Trafficking alongside his colleague and professional immigration law trainer Priya Solanki. Once again the Great James Street team are out to impress with the best of the best returning to present again – thank you! Amanda Jones (GJS) and Raphael Jesurum (36 Immigration) also return to our strong and diverse team of presenters. The prestigious 2 Harcourt Buildings present Max Mills and Jane Osborne QC on Fraud Law. Doughty Street’s Judge Jim Shepherd heads up the housing updates with 4-5, 36 and 1PC all alongside. Our family updates show the overlap of human rights and crime. We are also excited to welcome leading campaigner Stephen Akinsanya of GJS and leading senior solicitor Greg Stewart of GT Stewart Solicitors, who will speak on Diversity for our Unity in the Profession collection.

Our CPD training seminars are suitable for every lawyer in your firm at every level of their career, from paralegal to senior partner, in nearly every practice area. You can register as many of your lawyers as you like, from all of your departments, for one fixed price to cover your firm for the whole 12-month term – and this deal covers our free, monthly up-to-the-minute law bulletins in crime and immigration emailed straight to your mobile phone, laptop or office desktop.
