“Since its inception, the Law Society Skillnet has provided hundreds of hours of high-quality, affordable training to the solicitors’ profession. The network cluster groups, in particular, have made this training accessible, irrespective of location. My own involvement in the network has given me a greater understanding of the value and rewards of such focused training.”
