About Estate Research Learning Hub
Since 2020, the company has also been providing FREE online training to enhance the services it offers to Wills and Probate solicitors. These include CPD Webinars, e-Conferences and Q&A panel sessions delivered by experts in the field – all free of charge.
The Learning Hub now offers over 120 FREE online webinars presented by more than 60 different speakers, each sharing their expert knowledge for Private Client practitioners across the UK.

Presented by legal experts, its Learning Hub, which delivers CPD for Private Client practitioners, underpins the company’s ability to continue to provide world-class excellence in service across the Wills & Probate sector.
The Estate Research Learning Hub disrupted legal training in the Private Client space by offering free CPD from the industry’s leading speakers, compared to others that charge per session or have a fee of £100s for season ticket learning.
Every live webinar offers the audience the chance to put their questions to the speakers at the end and each one is recorded so all Learning Hub members can watch the webinar again on-demand at a time convenient to them. If the speaker produces any notes, slides or follow-up Q&A documents, these are also available to download for free allowing the solicitor to keep and utilise them for future cases.
The Estate Research Learning Hub also offers a CPD log feature. It automatically tracks and keeps a record of all learning carried out on the Learning Hub or via any CPD events hosted or sponsored by Estate Research, but also allows practitioners to add any additional CPD from other providers to their record. Members can also choose to add additional notes about what they have learned from a particular session – keeping in line with SRA guidance. This easy-to-use feature prevents any panic when solicitors are asked to show proof of their CPD by their firm or insurance providers!
The Learning Hub has an articles page where every feature piece is specifically for Private Client practitioners. This regular updated page offers news and opinion pieces for the sector, as well as educational papers on case updates and more general guidance in the area of Wills & Probate.
The Learning Hub now has over 6,500 registered members with more joining every week.
