 The Privacy & Data
Protection seminar was a good forum.  As it was a small group, it gave me an excellent chance to ask questions that were specific to our business and clients.  Peter Carey is an excellent speaker.  He was able to provide information immediately and was well versed with the DPA.  The session was interactive, educational, enjoyable - and not at all intimidating! Highly recommended

 The seminar was clear, concise and practical with a wealth of specific information. The informal group and the expertise of the speaker allowed individual situations to be advised upon in addition to the overview of the law generally
