As we approach the end of the continuing competence year for solicitors, LexisNexis is conducting some research into how the learning habits of solicitors may have changed over the past year and how they could continue to evolve in the future

Our aim is to ensure that our learning offering continues to meet the needs of our customers and other members of the profession.

We would very much value your input and would be grateful if you could take 10 minutes to complete this short survey. As an incentive, completed surveys will be entered into a prize draw to win £50 of high street vouchers.
