More than 30 City law firms have joined together to pioneer a structured training programme for junior corporate lawyers. The Corporate Training Consortium courses consist of 26 modules set up by the College of Law and based at the college’s Moorgate centre. It is designed for corporate lawyers with between 0–3 years post-qualification experience, and will include a thorough study of the Companies Act 2006. Colin Davey, former Nabarro managing partner and the college’s director of post-qualification programmes, says: “The consortium approach enables firms to spread attendance so that they can ensure consistency of client service back in the office.”
