An Introduction to the Law and Development Training Programme

A4ID’s Law and Development Training Programme has gained a reputation for excellence since its launch in 2006. Bringing together experts in law and development, this course provides a unique perspective for lawyers who wish to advance their understanding of the impact of their own work in the context of the bigger picture. Hundreds of legal professionals have attended this programme since 2006, and they have gained insight into the implications of their work on the broader development agenda and its potential impact on wider society.

A4ID are invested in bringing together the law and development sectors to promote sustainable development across the globe. The focus of this year’s programme will link course content directly with the SDG Agenda and A4ID's SDG Legal Initiative. As a call to action to the global legal profession to work towards sustainability, the legal initiative will provide analysis, tips and key actions of how this can be achieved in practice. You can access the A4ID Legal Initiative here.

A growing number of businesses are now building in a commitment to support sustainability as part of their mission and strategy. The LDTP enables legal professionals to harness the law and work alongside their clients to meet these needs. Aimed at lawyers across the entire sector, at all stages of their career, the LDTP will allow you to learn more about the core thematic areas of the SDGs, placing a lens on the specific targets of each goal and how these can be achieved.

If you champion the achievement of the SDGs, and want to work alongside your clients to improve sustainable development across the globe, this programme will provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to do so in the most effective way possible.

Continuing to run the programme in a virtual format allows A4ID to bring in a diverse range of speakers to contribute to the programme, as well as providing access to past recordings of sessions

I look forward to welcoming you to our enhanced law and development training programme: I am sure you will find it highly engaging as well as professionally and personally enriching.

Chief Executive, A4ID

Feedback From Previous Attendees

This course has been very valuable for our lawyers, providing them with an in-depth understanding of the issues at the heart of the sustainable development agenda; and crucially how the SDGs relate to their everyday work and our clients’ business.

The course has provided me a better knowledge base to advocate within, and engage with, my current law firm to find ways for us all to be more mindful of these issues in private practice, and the practical applications for lawyers and clients alike.

PREVIOUS PROGRAMME ATTENDEE
As a commercial lawyer I want to understand how my skill set can lend to development work. The course made it clear how my job and my specific skill set is transferable and what I can do in my actual day-to-day job to improve engagement in these issues.
