A full-day intensive...
Introduction To Family Law Land!
“HAPPY (Anyone working in a law firm who is not a lawyer) HAPPY LIFE”
So, you work or want to work in Family Law Land?
Join us for a full-day of training and learning, designed for anyone working in a law firm who is not a lawyer! That’s right, we have curated a full-day intensive for those amazing superstars who work alongside, support and help carry the load for us Family Lawyers.
Over at our “sister” business, Brisbane Family Law Centre (or BFLC as we like to call ourselves), we have had many recent discussions on building training materials, seeking training and upskilling those of us who are not lawyers but work in the same environment and similar capacity to lawyers.
There isn’t much out there…. So, we have designed our very own training day for our team and yours too!
