Training
We have been working in partnership with the social housing sector as it has grown and developed, and we have an unrivalled level of expertise in the law and insight into the sector.
Our specialist housing management and property teams have developed a range of training sessions covering issues which we know present regular challenges for clients. Our courses provide you with the up-to-date law, sound practical and pragmatic advice and solutions and the knowledge you need to try and avoid disputes arising. The sessions combine an element of teaching together with interactive tasks which are carried out in a workshop style.
Where do I start? I think of Bethan and her team as an extension of our office such is the relationship I enjoy with the team. They go to great lengths to understand us as clients and when in need of legal knowledge and leadership which is invariably at short notice, they rise to the challenge and deliver with a smile.
