Flexible training

LawSkills hones its "online, on-site and on demand" services

Niche consultancy and training company, LawSkills has honed its “online, on-site and on demand” services for wills, probate, trust and tax practitioners looking to develop their skills.

A survey of its clients showed most were unable to travel further than local venues for training. Clients wanted to mix and match from a variety of learning options, and said they valued flexible learning methods, value for money and practical materials.

LawSkills has now addressed this by incorporating videos, podcasts, webinars, notes and crib sheets.

Gill Steel, owner of LawSkills, says: “it is not only important to provide flexible methods of training to suit individual learning preferences, but to provide insight into how legal professionals can adapt within an ever changing legal market. Practitioners manage a heavy case load whilst complying with regulatory changes.”
