Now in its eighth year, our GuideME workplace training programme provides practical and interactive workshops for professionals and in-house legal counsel to upskill on specific areas of the law. Attendees gain tangible knowledge and tools that they can apply within their organisation. They will take home a comprehensive workbook with practical guides and examples written by our experts.

When it comes to training, there is no substitute for experience gained ‘in the field’. That’s why all our sessions are conducted by Partners and other senior lawyers with deep subject matter expertise.
