On the 10 September we hosted a practical seminar facilitated by Irish law firm Mason Hayes & Curran focusing on the essential CPD requirements for Irish practising certificate holders, with a focus on the regulatory element of Irish professional development.
We’re conscious that a large number of UK-based solicitors now hold Irish practising certificates and/or are admitted to the roll of solicitors in Ireland. Those solicitors who hold practising certificates are required to comply with specific Irish CPD requirements.
In order to help those solicitors, and in response to various requests from our membership, we’re sharing the presentation from this two-hour seminar which covered a number of topics, including anti-money laundering.
Due to topic raised it became a Chatham House seminar, which is why it was not recorded.
