Dispute Resolution Structured Training Programme
course overview

What?

This structured programme of 12 short face-to-face modules is designed to provide junior lawyers with a thorough grounding in the principal areas of civil dispute resolution practice. The training is available on an in-house basis for organisations with a number of delegates – or through membership of our dispute resolution training consortium. The programme aims to provide progressive development, but modules also work on a standalone basis, allowing organisations to select topics to suit their specific needs.

Who?

The programme is aimed at solicitors within their first three years of qualification or those who are returning to the practice area and looking to refresh their knowledge.

How?

Organisations select a relevant programme from our list of 12 short face-to-face modules, which can be attended individually or as part of a structured programme. Modules are then delivered by our highly experienced trainers at a time and location to suit you.

The programme is based around two case studies – one concerning the manufacture and supply of defective printed circuit boards, the other covering a series of disputes between a property development company and its bank. These provide the vehicle for dealing with disputes in the domain of the Queen’s Bench Division (non-specialist courts) and of the Commercial Court. International aspects are included so that issues arising on cross-border disputes are covered. Delegates will be sent information in advance for modules where pre-reading is recommended.

The modules available are as follows:

Pre-action Considerations (one day)
Contentious Negotiation (one day)
Statements of Case and Service (one day)
Issues and Evidence (one day)
Case Management (three hours)
Disclosure and Privilege (one day)
