We help universities, professional bodies and regulators design and deliver qualifications that meet regulatory requirements, respond to professional practice needs and support legal professionals at every stage of their careers. This includes developing competency frameworks, assessment regimes and accreditation schemes that promote quality, consistency and relevance across jurisdictions. Our recent work includes designing the new qualifying course for the Association of Costs Lawyers Training (ACLT), ensuring the qualification meets the expectations of the profession and its regulator. We also act as external assessors for regulators, contributing to robust accreditation processes and quality assurance exercises. We have conducted a formal assessment for the Intellectual Property Regulation Board (IPReg) of the Patent Attorney qualification assessments. Whether you are enhancing an existing qualification or creating a new one, we provide the expertise to ensure academic rigour, regulatory compliance and a focus on global employability.

We help education providers, regulators, and professional bodies build meaningful international partnerships that extend their reach and impact. Our team has experience in brokering academic cooperation agreements with counterparts in China, the Gulf, Africa and India, designing professional skills development programmes, and organising international study tours to support knowledge exchange and global best practice. We have a global network of regulatory and university contacts that enable us to support partnerships and initiatives that drive cross-border recognition, capacity building and high-quality legal education.

We offer tailored market research, horizon scanning and strategic analysis to inform the decisions of legal education providers and professional bodies operating nationally and globally. Our work supports programme development, international market expansion and future planning, helping clients manage regulatory changes and learner demands effectively across jurisdictions. We have supported various professional legal education providers with their international expansion programmes – either outbound from the UK or inbound from other jurisdictions. Whether you are assessing new opportunities or developing cross-border qualifications, we deliver intelligence that supports strategic decision-making and measurable outcomes.

We advise professional bodies, competent authorities, and education providers on cross-border recognition of their qualifications and how to gain recognition. Our work ensures compliance with local laws and professional standards in key jurisdictions, enabling qualifications to be recognised and delivered globally. This includes supporting mutual recognition agreements and guiding institutions through the complexities of exporting qualifications into new and emerging markets. Drawing on our wider experience in legal services regulation and trade policy, we help organisations manage regulatory risk while expanding their global footprint in legal education and training.

We work with education providers and professional bodies to improve their admissions, registry, and broader education operations. Our services enhance efficiency, transparency and candidate experience, while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. We reviewed and modernised the registry functions of the Association of Costs Lawyer Training, streamlined admissions processes and developed strategies to increase member engagement and diversify income streams. We also provide long-term integrated services for LawCAB a portal for postgraduate professional law courses in England and Wales, ensuring the effective administration of legal education applications across multiple institutions.
