"An imaginative consideration of different areas of law"

Chambers deliver seminars on a wide range of topics throughout the year, particularly in relation to people's rights and developing areas of law.

All topics are covered in a practical way to cater for all levels of experience and delegates are encouraged to participate in questions and answers at the end of each session.

Refreshments are always provided along with an opportunity for delegates to enjoy a relaxed drink and meet members of Chambers.

We are approved as external course providers by The Law Society and each seminar is CPD accredited offering 1 point per hour and delegates are provided with details of our CPD reference at the end of each seminar.
