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 Conference Hall in 54 Doughty Street which has a capacity of up 60 people. Chambers has a strict health and safety policy, therefore, as space is limited people wishing to attend must book beforehand by contacting the Victoria Wain on 020 7404 1313 or by sending an e-mail to events@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.
