Central Law Training and the Scottish Paralegal Association announce CPD collaboration

The Scottish Paralegal Association (SPA) was established 25 years ago. It remains the only association recognised by the Law Society of Scotland as representing the interests and promoting the development of Paralegals in Scotland.

The SPA host a number of well-attended events around the country which are open to members and non-members of the Association.  These meetings include an opportunity to attend talks and meet and network with fellow paralegals and other legal professionals. 

Through a new collaboration, Central Law Training will now host a quarterly CPD discussion at the SPA’s events which will include an opportunity to hear and engage with sector leading experts on key legal topics. In addition to this free CPD event, members of the SPA will now also be able to select from Central Law Training’s full public training programme for only £30+vat per hour. This includes all conferences, seminars, webinars and online seminars.

Hugh Anderson McKnight, director of Learning at Central Law Training, said: “In association with the University of Strathclyde, we have become synonymous with specialist paralegal qualifications; extending our CPD offering to paralegals in a bespoke way ensures that we meet the development aspirations of the sector.  We are delighted to work with the Scottish Paralegal Association to achieve this aim.”

Sandra Reid, president of the Scottish Paralegal Association, said: “We are really pleased to collaborate with Central Law Training who are renowned for the quality of their CPD across the legal sector. This commitment to the paralegal profession, through membership of the SPA, ensures that the highest quality of CPD is accessible to paralegals in a relevant and cost-effective manner.”

The first event takes place on Tuesday 23rd October at the Faculty Rooms in Glasgow where John Kerrigan will be presenting on Section 29 of the Family Law (Scotland) Act 2006 which deals with the possible rights of succession of cohabitants on intestacy.
