Advocacy
Skills
- The more you develop your advocacy skills, the better they will serve you, your firm and your clients. We help you to settle disputes out of court through arbitration and mediation, as well as to prepare for advocacy and handling expert witnesses should you need to go to court.
BusinessSkills
- It is not enough to be able to think like a lawyer, you also need to think like a businessperson. From creating a business development strategy, client engagement and networking to drafting contracts, our business courses will help you embed the necessary skills to help you grow.
Communication Skills
- In this range of communication courses and masterclasses, we focus on essential communication skills for young lawyers, such as conducting meetings and presentations, effective business- and report-writing, and negotiating, from your style and approach to closing the deal.
Management
Skills
- Right from the start of your legal career, you'll need to work on your time- and stress-management skills, understand how to work within a team, and learn how to effectively manage projects. These courses and masterclasses will help you improve these essential management skills.
