We also gave a brief overview of referral network activities planned for this year.
Our network, and our events, are free to join and we don’t ask for any commitment or exclusivity from our members. The benefits include a 10% referral fee, free quarterly CPD sessions and our advice line – a free 30-minute advice call for when you need extra expertise.
This event is open to anyone working at a Scottish solicitors’ firm who’d like to become a member of our network. Please feel free to share this invite with your colleagues and network.
If you know someone who would be interested in joining the network, have any specific questions or a client issue you’d like to discuss, you can get in touch with the team by emailing SRN@andersonstrathern.co.uk.
