In addition to our main CPD program, we also offer a variety of free courses. These include recorded modules on well-being and resources for criminal defense lawyers, as well as live lectures and seminars. That`s why we decided to offer FREE legal CPD courses entirely ONLINE!

Due to the amount of positive feedback we received from our subscribers who accessed the courses yesterday, we decided to make them available to everyone – as we are very confident that you will love these CPD webinars as much as they do. This list obviously doesn`t cover all the amazing programs – the excellent programs of many bar associations are available for free or at little cost to members and/or non-members at low cost. Feel free (haha) to comment with all the ones I missed. My free online masterclasses (available to you as a webinar!) allow professionals working in all areas of law and business to develop their skills in a simple online format.
