Run by an experienced and committed team of L&D volunteers from leading law firms, Learning in Law helps people to connect with peers across the industry, share knowledge and promote best practice. Learning in Law has over 200 members, including senior L&D professionals in most of the Top 100 UK firms.
Expand your L&D network and problem-solve with peers through the website, the Learning in Law LinkedIn group and at regular online and in-person events.
Be inspired by market-leading innovations at our annual awards event. Learn and share what works well within the unique culture of law firms at our flagship annual conference, hearing also from leading experts in the marketplace.
Post your questions on the Q&A board to get impartial advice and recommendations from your peers or to connect directly with recommended providers around how they can support you and your firm.
Hear what your peers are talking about. We’re a conduit for discussions on regulatory developments with industry bodies (e.g. SRA) and conduct bi-annual surveys of the legal Learning and Development community.
Want to keep on top of important topics and emerging trends within L&D?
Join these sessions to gain insights from experts and learn about innovations and key developments within legal and the wider L&D market.
New to L&D or looking to brush up your fundamental L&D skillset?
These interactive workshops cover the essential skills required in every learning professional’s toolkit. Learn alongside law firm peers, share experiences and hear about the latest thinking and best practice.
Once signed up, you’ll have access to both our L&D Essentials and Hot Topics session recordings (where available) and slides on our online platform (note: a small fee applies to attend these events and to access the post-event recordings).
Anyone in a UK law firm with a L&D aspect to their role or responsible for lawyer L&D within an in-house team can join Learning in Law. A minimal annual membership fee is charged to help run Learning in Law which operates as a not-for-profit business with committee members dedicating their time for free.
Learning in Law fulfils four key functions for its members:
We’re proud to have strong relationships with leading training providers, coaches and consultants in our sector.
We offer a “Recommended Provider” status for individuals and consultancies endorsed by at least one Learning in Law member. Their profiles, references and specialisms are detailed on the website for members to see and search. Recommended providers can respond to open questions from members on the Q&A board and they are invited to join the annual conference and networking and awards events.
Providers are not able to become full Learning in Law members. This approach maintains the impartiality, openness and confidentiality between law firm members and avoids members receiving unsolicited sales calls or emails.
We are always looking to expand our network of providers, so please get in touch if you have worked with one of our member law firms.
To join or for any other queries please contact: coordinator.learninginlaw@gmail.com
Anyone working in L&D in a Central London law firm may also be interested in contacting the City of London Law Society which has a training committee and often runs interesting events.
