Vish Vishvanath

Wow, brilliantly organized course that somehow makes you feel like a genius after having done each section – everything is clearly explained and super insightful, it’s like the Khan Academy for SQE, and all the content is easy to handle at whatever pace you want to go.

I cannot recommend this course highly enough. Each of the many detailed legal issues was explained with great clarity, however complex it was. Each legal point is outlined by this very experienced lawyer, and the actual wording of each part of the law is written on the screen as he speaks. Examples from decisive court cases are used to clarify each point of law.

It was especially helpful to be able to pause or repeat each point to fully absorb and record it in my notes.

Altogether, a clear, accessible explanation of every point in this extensive field.

A highly recommended course!
