"Metis Advisory’s Contract Law Fundamentals course was very well run and provided a wealth of information regarding the use and implementation of contracts.  The course director was very well spoken and has a wealth of experience that he was more than happy to share. The

course materials are very detailed and will definitely be used as a reference in my future work."

"As a lawyer working with contracts and in a variety of industries including technology, construction and media, even with the legal background, I found the Contract Law

Fundamentals seminar refreshingly insightful and continue to utilise many of the skills I learnt in my everyday practise. A must for anybody working with contracts in any industry!"
