Landlord Law Blog roundup from 18 February

meetingWe had Ben down (or is it up?) to see us at Landlord Law Towers this week, talking about new projects for our Easy Law Training service.

A lof of exciting new ideas some of which we will be announcing shortly.

Our current big event, the Landlord Law conference is going well, new bookings coming in all the time.

NW Brown are also now sponsoring the event, so many thanks to them.  I will be doing a post about them shortly.

In fact things are going so well that I will shortly be closing down the special 50% off offer for Landlord Law members and Easy Law customers – so if you are eligible for this I suggest you book soon.
