Training programme – learning together

Training

Sandton, Johannesburg | February to May 2019

At Norton Rose Fulbright we value the opportunity to learn together with our clients. We are delighted to invite you to participate in our internal training programme. In this brochure, you will find a selection of training sessions on legal topics, professional development and business skills covering the period from February to May 2019. We have selected a sampling of topics from our wider internal training programmes that we know are of interest to our clients. We hope you find them as useful in developing your people and managing your work and business as we do.

Legal training courses

The courses in this brochure represent a selection of the legal training we can offer to our clients. The number of places available at our legal seminars is limited, so as to encourage an open exchange of ideas between our clients and our lawyers, who attend these seminars side-by-side. If a session is heavily over-subscribed, we will repeat it so that anyone who wants to can attend.

In this edition, we are pleased to present a selection of interesting topics. If you have areas of specific interest not offered here, please contact Steve Chemaly, our Regional head of knowledge.

Professional development and business skills training courses

We tailor programmes to meet your specific needs. These can be delivered for teams at your premises or ours. You are welcome to contact Busi Dichaba, our Learning and development manager, to discuss this.
