Practical training for businesses
Demystifying legal issues
We welcome requests from non-lawyers who consider that they would benefit from training in legal and commercial issues such as:
  • negotiating, drafting and managing commercial contracts;
  • joint ventures and collaboration agreements; and,
  • the legal aspects of buying and selling businesses.  
We will design truly bespoke training to meet your specific needs.  We pride ourselves on demystifying legal concepts and issues and identifying commercial and practical solutions.

​Our courses for non-lawyers have been delivered to delegates at all levels including:
  • directors and managers of international companies; 
  • in-house legal teams;
  • sales and purchasing teams at SMEs.

We have used diverse case studies including the construction of off-shore wind farms, a shipbuilding contract, the installation of computer facities in Singapore, and the supply of manufactured engineered components.

​The principles of contract law remain the same. The risks, rights and obligations are dealt with differently depending on the industry sector and the nature of the transaction. ​
​​​Accredited legal training in Dubai
We are authorised, in association with CBD Dubai, to deliver accredited courses for the Continuing Legal Development Programme in Dubai. Whilst primarily designed for Legal Consultants within Dubai, these courses are of significant practical use for anyone working in the law within the region or internationally. They will also benefit non-lawyers who require an understanding of legal issues.

LEGAL ADVICE OR TRAINING? 
Are you seeking legal advice on any business matter, from forming a company, drafting shareholder agreements, leasing or buying property, dealing with employment issues and negotiating and signing commercial agreements?  If so, we will be happy to  arrange for you to discuss this with a regulated law firm in a solicitor-client relationship. However, for the content of training, please read our disclaimer below.

DISCLAIMER AND DISTINCTION BETWEEN TRAINING CONTENT AND LEGAL ADVICE
We cannot advise on a legal matter in a solicitor/client relationship until we have ascertained all the facts, considered in detail the options, and liaised with you as to the way forward. Therefore, anything said during a training session does not constitute legal advice and cannot be relied on in relation to specific matters where the facts may change the effect and application of the law.
