CPD accredited events

Welcome to the SIFA Webcast Programme

We currently broadcast monthly Solicitors Regulation Authority CPD accredited webcasts on our dedicated SIFA Channel via BrightTalk. The webcasts focus attention on the legal profession and how best practice operations should be considered as firms think about their future development in a post Legal Services Act environment.

The service provides access to the SIFA Channel, where we provide availability to both ‘live’ and ‘recorded’ webcasts. Each webcast is 45 minutes in duration, and attendance at the ‘live’ event qualifies for SRA CPD credits.
