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 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.
