Road Traffic Law - developing a private practice

Road traffic law is one of the most lucrative areas of criminal litigation, increasingly so with the introduction of means testing in the magistrates' court, and a willingness on the part of many defendants to pay privately in order to try and protect their driving licence and livelihood. However, road traffic law is also one of the most complex areas of crime, and anyone thinking of developing a practice in this area will need to ensure that they are fully up to date with all aspects of legislation and case law. But that aside there is no reason why only a small number of firms should cream off this work.

 

CrimeLine's essential Conference: Developing a Road Traffic Law Practice, will enable you to practice with confidence and leave with comprehensive materials that will ensure neither you nor your clients miss a trick. Probably one of only a few courses where the fee will be repaid in less than 2 hours work!

 

Who should attend? Solicitors and counsel interested in marketing themselves as road traffic lawyers and building a very profitable business. Level: Advanced.
