New Partners

The Rule known as D2.2 of the Law Society of Scotland Practice Rules, require any new partner or principal to attend the Practice Management Course within twelve months of becoming a partner or principal. 

 As part of the rules, new partners attendance on Friday is compulsory, and on Saturday is recommended.  Although the Saturday is not compulsory it is recommendable to attend to enhance your skills in leadership.
