Contract Law Update - the latest case law in practice

Enlightening and educational. Very useful in my day to day job knowing the contract updates and practical knowledge from experienced professionals. Was looking for an update on recent legal and adjudication cases. The course accomplished my expectations. Will be keen for a follow up course next year.

Contract Law Update - the latest case law in practice

I have attended Helen's courses previously and find her very engaging and full of practical tips. I found the presentation very engaging - it was a concern that the course moved on-line but actually I found this absolutely fine. There are some useful points for me to take away and consider implementation of in my day to day work.
