Paralegal pointers
We are pleased to confirm that tickets are now on sale for our first autumn conference. The conference will be held on 2 October at the Apex Hotel in Dundee and will cover the practice areas of conveyancing, family law, debt recovery and private client. Tickets are now available at the price of £65. This is an ideal opportunity to obtain five hours of CPD before the end of October if anyone is short of hours! Full details will be available on our website www.scottish-paralegal.org.uk
We recently exhibited at the CLT Scots Law Conference at Murrayfield. It was lovely to catch up with existing members and also have the opportunity to speak to paralegals who are interested in becoming accredited paralegals and joining the Association. If there are any members in your firm who would like to become accredited paralegals or are interested in joining the Association, please ask them to contact us by email at info@scottish-paralegal.org.uk
As previously mentioned, we are finalising the upcoming “meet and greet” and CPD sessions, and details will be publicised shortly. We have booked the Faculty Rooms in Glasgow on Wednesday 15 August, Tuesday 11 September and Tuesday 23 October. Please come along after work and join us for networking with your colleagues, a glass of bubbly and an hour’s CPD.
As always, we would love to hear from members with any suggestions for events or CPD you would like us to organise for you.
