Legaltraining.tv, the UK’s leading provider of comprehensive online legal Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training has today announced a ground-breaking new business venture with altior, which is set to change the future of the legal training landscape. This exciting co-operation with altior, a leading UK provider of skills training for the legal profession, is the first of its kind within the industry. Together, legaltraining.tv and altior will share their wealth of training resources and knowledge, and will collaborate to market and cross-promote each other’s portfolio of services.
This innovative business venture represents the increasing need for the legal profession to have access to a variety of different platforms in order to satisfy their training requirements, whether in person, online or through interactive sessions. With over 115,000 solicitors and barristers registered in the UK and with between 1.4 million and 1.8 million hours of obligatory training undertaken by the legal profession both legaltraining.tv and altior, who have been leaders in the UK legal training market for over 25 years, understand the magnitude and importance of legal training and its’ future, and the scale of opportunity in the sector.
Peter Lewinton, Managing Director of Legal Training.tv Ltd commented: “I am delighted that legaltraining.tv and altior are working together to bring to the market a new and exciting concept. With the roll out of broadband, the market is continuing to shift. We believe that we are paving the way for the future of the UK legal training industry which lies in combining top quality online and offline training thereby offering an efficient, cost effective and convenient solution to all members of the legal profession.”
Mark Loosemore, Chief Executive, altior said: “We are excited about the prospect of working with legaltraining.tv in this ground-breaking partnership. We can’t wait to introduce legaltraining.tv’s online CPD products to our clients and contacts, and we are sure they will be keen to take advantage of the special offers that we will put to them. We know that the legal profession already appreciates the respective merits of offline and online training, and the value that both can deliver. We think that altior’s tie-up with legaltraining.tv will bring the two delivery methods together in a unique and appealing way.”
Whilst altior has an extensive client list including some of the largest worldwide law firms such as Shearman & Sterling, many of the UK’s top 100 firms including Bird & Bird and Shoosmiths, public sector bodies and thousands of other law firms as well as a wealth of experience spanning over 25 years, legaltraining.tv too has an impressive track record since their launch including 4-5 Gray’s Inn Square, 3 Verulam Buildings, 1 Hare Court, The European Court of Justice, West Yorkshire Police, partners from CMS Mackenna.
