About Us

Law Unto Yourself training is a division of CPD Training (UK) Limited.

Our educational philosophy is simple: learning should concentrate on the participant and not upon the teacher. Traditional training has been saturated with lectures and demonstrations. Lawyers are busy people who have been trained to see a point quickly. They are not happy to sit and listen to someone speaking to them for long periods of time. They want practical and up-to-date courses which are injected with realism and pace.

Therefore, all of CPD Training's courses, including the courses you will find on this website, adhere to a similar theme. Each course, in controlled conditions, allows delegates to come to their own conclusions. They are then able to consider how to apply the skills they have learned to everyday practice.

With Law Unto Yourself, we are now able to offer you the same quality courses at a much-reduced price. The only difference is that you provide the trainer.

Our course designers have extensive experience both as practitioners and as legal trainers.

The team is led by Peter Lyons.
