Chambers is currently hosting a rolling programme of seminars. These are directed towards professional clients and to relevant lay clients. Materials and published recordings from recent past webinars are available here.

In recent feedback, attendees have commented:

“The FTB webinar programme during lockdown has been brilliant – something to look forward to each week/the new Netflix!”

“Whilst a ‘needs must’ situation it is impressive that FTB is achieving high quality and effective CPD, using the (now almost taken for granted) technology with great content”

“ FTB should be singled out for praise for its rolling programme of webinars during the COVID-19 lockdown. They have all been excellent in terms of content and accessibility”
