As a full-time CPD trainer over the past 21 years, I have spoken at more than 2400 CPD events. (Others may estimate or inflate their figures—I’ve kept an annual count since the very beginning.) In this time, I have dedicated my working life to providing property lawyers across England and Wales with practical and insightful training.

This in turn means that thousands of conveyancing practitioners have attended my training courses. These professionals have included experienced property lawyers, aspiring conveyancers, paralegals and support staff. More recently, large numbers have tuned in to watch my online webinars. I have also had the privilege of working with the country’s leading legal training providers.

Those of you who have seen me speak know that I am straight talking when it comes to matters of property law and procedure. I also actively and consistently advocate the importance of raising standards across the entire conveyancing profession. Indeed, I am dedicated to helping you become more effective, knowledgeable and confident in your role as a conveyancer.

Also, for 20 years I have been a Contributing Editor to Butterworths Property Law Service on the complex and ever-changing law relating to long residential leases.

My previous professional experience includes being a former practising Solicitor with several years post-qualification experience, representing many business and private clients, including property investors and local authorities, and running branch offices of Solicitors’ firms.

Conveyancing training is my business and I have a strong commitment to excellence. So, if you’re looking for a reliable, trusted legal trainer with a no-nonsense, practical approach, and a proven track record in CPD training, then look no further!
