In December 2019 Peter Lyons was delighted to learn that his book Advocacy: A Practical Guide had been listed as one of the Top 10 Books of 2019 by the Law Society Gazette.
The book has also been favourably reviewed in the Australian law journal Justinian, and has had very positive feedback from readers on Amazon.

At the end of November 2019 we finally managed to assemble the full Higher Rights of Audience training and assessment team for a few drinks and nibbles at the end of a busy year. In all we conducted 9 Higher Rights assessments. This included a mixture of in-house and public courses. Most were held in London but in March/April 2019 we also delivered a course and assessment in Singapore, with candidates coming from as far afield as Hong Kong and Tokyo.
