HJT has been training people in government, business, NGOs and local authorities since 2003, when it was first set up by barristers, David Jones and Mark Symes. We now offer specialist training around human rights and business issues, as well as specific areas of law, including immigration, employment and family law.

At the outset, we have aimed to make legal expertise accessible to those who need it and to ensure that people’s individual rights and interests are protected. Accessibility is still core to our values – to give people an understanding of how best to apply key human rights-related principles in their daily work – whether it is related to corporate responsibility, immigration concerns, employment or family law.

We design our courses to be as practical as possible, so that people can immediate apply the knowledge gained in their daily work. We’re constantly on top of ongoing legislative change and trends – because its key to our work. This gives us an unrivalled foresight into the issues and compliancy requirements faced by both businesses and government today, to help them plan and prepare. It’s what makes us different from the rest!

We work hard to continually update, sharpen and evolve our knowledge, ensuring that only the most robust, best practice insights and information are shared with those we train. People who attend our courses have access to key experts including leaders in NGOs and non-for-profit organisations, academics, business executives and advisers. We work with a number of partner companies and affiliates who contribute to help us make our training topical and compelling.
