CPD
CPD sessions for law and accounting firms
Technology-focused CPD for lawyers, accountants, advisers and boards who encounter technology, digital evidence, cyber risk and AI in their work. Sessions run from a 1 hour briefing to a 10 hour modular program, in person or online, and are designed for professional audiences rather than technologists.
How a program runs
Choose a topic and a depth: a 1 hour briefing, a 2 hour masterclass, a half-day workshop, a full-day intensive, or a 10 hour program assembled from several topics and delivered across sessions. Each session focuses on the practical implications of the technology: what it can and cannot establish, where risk arises, and the questions professionals should ask.
We leave a two-page checklist your team can use on the next matter. It is written for the work, not as a sales document.
Firms that book a program each CPD year get rotated topics, so the material follows what their matters raise rather than repeating last year's session.
What your team takes away
- Recognise the technical issue earlier in a matter
- Ask the right questions of a target, a defendant or a client
- Know what evidence to preserve, and when preservation cannot wait
Every attendee receives a certificate of attendance for the hours completed. Each certificate carries its own ID and a QR code, so a professional body or employer can check it publicly at any time.
Hours and formats
Every topic in the catalogue can be delivered at any of these depths. Durations and formats are configurable to the audience, organisation and required depth.
| Format | Typical duration | Depth | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional Briefing | 1 hour | Executive overview | Partner meetings, team updates, annual updates and board briefings |
| Masterclass | 2 hours | Applied understanding | The standard format for a single CPD topic: concepts, examples, case studies and Q&A |
| Half-Day Workshop | 3 to 4 hours | Deep and interactive | Complex subjects, practical exercises, scenarios and facilitated discussion |
| Full-Day Intensive | 6 to 7 hours | Advanced | Multiple related modules, detailed case studies and practical application |
| Professional Technology Program | 10 hours | Comprehensive and modular | Firm-wide programs assembled from multiple topics, typically five 2 hour sessions |
Topic catalogue
Eighteen topics across five streams. Each can run as a briefing, masterclass, workshop or intensive, and any combination can form a 10 hour program. Open a topic for its audience, coverage by depth and recommended frequency, and add the ones you are considering to your outreach list. We can also shape a custom topic around a matter your team is seeing often.

The presenter
Sessions are led by the practitioner who runs our assurance engagements, so the material comes from real matters rather than a training script.
