Being not legally qualified, I was hoping to learn more about intricacies of contracting, elaboration on particular aspects such as warranties, and drafting of clauses, whilst generally to expand on my basic knowledge of contracts in the English law, which has been achieved exceptionally well, as well as the additional benefit of doing a day on negotiation, which was excellent as well. [The speaker was] extremely knowledgeable.
