Early November and it was that time of year again. The nights draw shorter as does the time left to ensure CPD points are acquired for the end of the year. Outside of the IIMS and other associations I see that our involvement with the UK legal sector remains important, not only for the latest legal gossip and training but also as this is an excellent marketing base for professional appointments. The best way to operate in legal circles is to maintain a relationship with various expert witness movements. Having completed the CUBS (Cardiff University Bond Solon) Certificate in Expert Training, I push to maintain the expected standards of the various courses both Bond Solon and the Academy of Experts offer in report writing, court room skills and cross examination. All excellent skill sets applicable to many walks of life.
