Compliance & Professional Ethics

Compliance training for law firms to fill the knowledge gaps and motivate your people to get the job done right.

Face-to-face, online and e-learning

Our compliance training for law firms is available in all formats so that you can provide the training and support your staff need whenever and wherever it’s most convenient.

Relentlessly practical training

The Solicitors Regulation Authority’s current approach to regulation means fewer rules and less prescription. So law firms and their staff have more compliance work to do than ever before. To meet the challenge, your people need to be familiar with their obligations, know what you expect them to do, and be comfortable with exercising their judgement whenever decisions are required.

So they need training support that encourages the right ways of thinking and the right habits in all their activities, and that’s what we can deliver.

Compliance work is an endless cycle that can’t be ignored and has to be done right. So our approach is relentlessly practical – Think. Check. Decide. Monitor. Supervise. REPEAT.

Focused on what matters

All or compliance training is soundly based on the current law and regulations, but we focus on their practical impact. What do the regulations mean and what should your you and your people should think about and do as a result. We’ll show you where to find what you need, but we never make the mistake of thinking anyone needs to learn the law and regulation by rote.

Led by experts, never dull

All our courses are designed and led by current compliance experts. We’ve selected them not just because they know their stuff, but because they know how to make the courses stimulating helpful and fun. Not everyone finds these topics as exciting as they do – they’ll be the first to admit it – so they work extra hard to eliminate the tedium and banish the boring.

We offer training for everyone from Compliance Officers to Accounts staff, partners to paralegals and apprentices. Take a look at the course outlines and get in touch. If you don’t see precisely what you want, we’ll be happy to develop something tailored for your firm.
