Suitable for: IA What does this mean?
Middle and senior managers rarely attend Housing Law training – apart from short conference workshops. But their knowledge is often dated, maybe based on sector myths and/or they too quickly ask their chosen retained lawyers. Case law is replete with examples of where this approach is found expensively wanting.
This training/workshop will provide such staff with real up-to-date knowledge or statute and case law and the opportunity with others to unravel complex real cases.
