Concluding Remarks
Info-Packed
"This was a great course. The subject deserved a much longer session, but the length made it easier to attend. Each panel was packed with information and much helpful ground was covered, despite it being a short programme."
Invaluable tips!
"As a junior who's becoming more involved in arbitrations and complex litigation files, the views and tips from established lawyers, arbitrators, and members of the bench, were invaluable."
Practical and varied
"The program touched on a variety of topics (arbitration, builders liens/prompt payment, and expert examinations) and I was happy to get practical tips and tricks that you can't get from reviewing checklists and rules."
