The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted norms across all industries with Movement Control Order (“MCO”) and post-MCO implications. This CPD Live Session seeks to discuss what and how technological tools are essential for legal practices to adapt to this “new normal”.
CPD Live is an initiative by the Bar Council during the MCO period, so that Members and pupils are not deprived of continuous learning even during these times.
Come join CPD Live Session at the comfort of your own home!
