Bespoke training for solicitors’ firm on practice standards

We were engaged by a firm of solicitors who had recently established a child abuse negligence department. The firm wanted a learning and development event to achieve the following:

• To give an overview of the new child abuse negligence department, and their role in it.
• To consider what type of cases they are likely to be dealing with , who the clients are likely to be, and what their issues are likely to be
• To consider issues of potential liability and what kind of information they would need to seek
• To discuss what type of documents they would need sight of
• To consider how to sensitively approach clients and how to get the best out of them when taking statements and initial instructions
• To consider how the cases are likely to be funded
• To look at future development issues for the department
