ABOUT OUR COURSES

The importance of good legislative drafting cannot be underestimated, and time spent thinking and planning before anything is drafted is very seldom wasted. Generally, in most countries, Parliamentary time available for legislation is extremely limited, and any delays due to badly drafted legislation needs to be avoided.

Our comprehensive training courses have been prepared by experts in the field of legislative drafting, and each course we prepare will not only emphasis the essential components of good drafting, but also deliver drafting techniques that are necessary, clear, coherent, effective, and accessible
