We design and build each of our courses in collaboration with employers, ensuring the content reflects the needs of industry and directly responds to those needs.

One of the UK’s leading Law Schools, with over 30 years’ experience delivering professional legal qualifications. We are trusted by many of the most influential law firms and we train aspiring lawyers from over 150 organisations.

At the forefront of innovation in legal training, we look forwards not back. We build and shape legal careers for the future.
