About the Speaker:
Ian Quayle qualified as a solicitor and worked in private practice for 12 years specialising in property law matters generally including residential conveyancing, development work, commercial leasehold transactions and property joint ventures.
Since 1998 he worked in house and as a consultant for national house builders and national and international property developers advising on all aspects of property, landlord and tenant,transactional, and management issues. For the last 16 years Ian has provided training to the legal profession throughout England working for some of the most prominent providers of legal training as well as providing training privately to firms and organisations. This has in the main been provided via in house courses, public courses , and conferences. In addition Ian delivers webinars for a number of training providers.
In addition, Ian has delivered live and pre-recorded webinars nationally and internationally for both of the leading legal training providers and continues to do so.
Ian has delivered over 1500 training courses (all property related) for city and regional firms, local law societies, and local authorities. His style and delivery is relaxed but he is able to explain the law and practical issues relating to the training topic in a way that ensures delegates learn or
reinforce learning and derive meaningful benefit from the training provided. Feedback is always positive.
Unusually Ian is able to deliver training in both the commercial and residential property fields generating courses on a myriad of topics some of which are of general application and others more specialist and focused.
Ian lives in the North East England with his partner and travels nationally. He has numerous hobbies and pastimes including renovating a 200 year old partly derelict house ( a topic for a conveyancing course in its own right !!!)

ANNUAL DINNER AND LEGAL EXCELLENCE AWARDS CEREMONY.
Join us for the BB&O Law Society Annual Dinner in Oxford on 19th June 2020 when we will celebrate and recognise the achievements of those in the legal profession.

The purpose of the awards is three-fold:
- to increase public awareness of the legal profession throughout the three counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire and also Milton Keynes,
- to recognise and celebrate the achievements of winning individuals and legal teams, and those shortlisted in each of the categories, and
- to give Solicitors and their staff an increased sense of pride in what they do.
Nomination Forms (coming soon)

I have no doubt that this year’s awards will deliver on all these aims, and it has been good to see previous year’s winners publicising their successes in their literature, on their websites, through social media and in the press.
Please get involved and help to make our Legal Awards another great success. As a wise person once said….. “you have to be in it to win it”!
Please help the BB&O Law Society to support and recognise the achievements of your staff. Who knows, you could be celebrating professional recognition at our Annual Dinner and Awards ceremony on 27th September 2019 at Oxford Spires Hotel.
Booking Form (coming soon)
Good luck to everyone and I look forward to seeing you all there.
