360º IS A LIVE, INTEGRATED, PRACTICAL AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMME

Lovells 360º training programme was awarded Runner-Up in the Best Learning Programme category by the MPF last October.

Lovells entered the Spanish legal market in September 2004, bringing together a team from a variety of professionals and backgrounds. This provided the opportunity to re-evaluate the needs of the Spanish market and adopt a fresh approach. It was clear that clients were seeking true business partners who understood their commercial issues and market environment. To meet their needs, we developed and launched in 2007 a comprehensive learning and development programme aimed at providing Lovells’ professionals with the skills and know-how to act as true partners. The name 360º was chosen to reflect the programme's complete and integrated approach. 

360° is a training programme developed for lawyers and support professionals at all levels of experience, from senior partners through to newly qualified lawyers, and from management through to secretaries.

360° can be combined with any other training provided by specific practice areas, as well as other Lovells training programmes from abroad. It is worth noting that this training does not come to an end after each new joiner's first 2-3 years of experience; instead, it remains an integral part of our professionals' careers at Lovells continuing through to senior partner level. The programme accompanies the professional development of Lovells’ professionals, evolving as they grow within the firm.

360° covers a diverse range of topics, offers a complete learning experience that reflects the complex demands of the legal sector and includes the most relevant elements of the Spanish legal system, analyses operations, promotes the development of skills, provides tools and techniques for daily tasks, disseminates Lovells' strategy and values and fosters knowledge of different legislations, tribunals, institutions and, additionally, other cultures.

The programme encompasses a wide range of both legal and non-legal disciplines which are covered in seminars, master classes, workshops and case studies conducted in a purpose equipped 360º training room that Lovells constructed to facilitate the program.

Speakers include partners, lawyers and experts from Lovells worldwide, in addition to academic and business experts, as well as journalists and consultants. We have also invited clients to participate (both as speakers and attendees). We value our client relationship and our desire to share knowledge and experiences with them and also helps us to understand their commercial needs better.

Every July, the following year's calendar is approved with sessions beginning during the first week of September. The topics are updated on an ongoing basis in line with innovations in the field and the needs of our lawyers and other professionals. The programme is regularly on the agenda of management meetings in order to monitor and shape its development. Excellent co-operation between senior management and HR is key to 360°'s success.

360º equips Lovells' professionals with ideas, techniques and tools to make its brand values and strategy a reality. The programme has become synonymous with flexibility, responsiveness, innovation and diversity. It is a live, integrated, practical and multidisciplinary programme. Lovells’ people are committed to our clients, our values, our society, our development; 360º helps this come true, every day.
