Testimonial
“I thought the session yesterday was excellent. Simon is an engaging speaker and the amount of practical work, “chalk and talk” and Q&A was just right. He is good at stimulating ideas. All a bit daunting really as it means ironing out years of entrenched writing practices but he really makes you sit up and think. Well worth running and I’d recommend it for fee earners of all levels.”
