Seminars & CPD

All specialist teams in Chambers organise CPD accredited seminars and lectures. These focus on new developments in law, tactics and strategies, skills training and best practice. Unless otherwise stated these will be held in the seminar room in 10 Doughty Street which can take up to 35 people. Please note that although these seminars are provided free-of-charge, as space is limited people wishing to attend must book beforehand by contacting the reception team on 020 7404 1313 or by sending an e-mail to reception@doughtystreet.co.uk

Training and development is tailored to professional needs. We offer introductory, refresher, intermediate and advanced sessions. Teams conduct training for individual firms on request in Chambers or at solicitor offices.
