Free Presentations, Seminars and Workshops

• Also, prevention is better than cure, so we also offer presentations and workshops on subjects including Stress Recognition and Management, Vicarious Trauma, and Surviving the Economic Downturn. Most of these are CPD accredited.

Over 17,000 lawyers have attended a LawCare presentation since 2004.

What does it cost?

The presentations are offered free to law firms, chambers, local Law Societies and special interest groups. All we ask is that you pay the travelling expenses of the LawCare staff member who comes to give the talk, plus the cost of any materials provided. In working out the costs it may be helpful to know that materials typically cost less than £1 per attendee, and we have staff based in Sussex, Cornwall, Wolverhampton and Edinburgh. Many organisations also choose to give a donation to LawCare to show their thanks. For more information on how donations are used to help the work of LawCare, click here.
