Legal Training

CIO Connect’s purpose is to work with clients to share information and practical solutions. As many organisations are undergoing Digital Transformations, the landscape for them is generating a different set of risks. To protect you, it is important that you are well informed on the legal ramifications in your country by people who have the legal IT experience matched with the ‘in country’ legal knowledge.

Pinsent Masons MPillay have a defined series of relevant courses for our clients.

They are willing to have an initial conversation, free of charge to understand your needs and recommend a course that is appropriate. Please contact Emma Burrows in the first instance, to put you in touch with the correct lawyer in the Practice.
