A New E-Learning Platform for Acuity Academy
Acuity Law has launched a new lawyer-led E-learning platform as part of the relaunch of its Acuity Academy. In doing so, it is expanding the way it supports businesses with practical, expert-led legal training. The platform is designed to help organisations navigate an increasingly complex commercial and regulatory environment. At the same time, it helps to reduce legal risk.
Responding to Growing Regulatory Pressure
The launch comes at a time when businesses are under growing regulatory pressure. As a result, they are more exposed to legal risk. This is particularly true as many turn to AI and generic online tools for guidance. Through Acuity Academy, Acuity Law provides structured, legally robust training. Importantly, this training reflects current law and real-world best practice. Therefore, organisations can have greater confidence in the decisions they make.
The relaunched Acuity Academy is focused on building internal capability within organisations. Its e-learning platform equips teams with practical legal knowledge they can apply day to day. As a result, it supports stronger leadership, faster decision-making and more sustainable growth.
Unlike generic training solutions, the platform is built and maintained by Acuity Law’s in-house lawyers. Consequently, content can evolve quickly in response to changes in law and regulation. This ensures businesses can access relevant and accurate guidance. In turn, it helps them avoid costly mistakes.
The platform launches with 25 courses however, there are plans to expand this to more than 100. Initial topics include employment law, equality, diversity and inclusion, directors’ duties, workplace investigations, intellectual property, and risk management for growing businesses. Over time, future courses will be developed in response to client feedback and demand. As a result, Acuity Academy will continue to reflect the needs of modern organisations.
Leadership Perspective
Steve Berry, Managing Partner and Executive Chairman of Acuity Law, said:
“Our new e-leaning platform is a natural extension of how we support our clients. Businesses today want more than just legal advice when something goes wrong, they want tools that help them make better business decisions that will aid long-term growth.
“By combining expert legal training with flexible delivery and technology, the new e-learning offering of Acuity Academy allows us to support clients in a more proactive, practical and cost-effective way.”
Matt Mills, Product Manager at Acuity, said:
“We were already delivering a significant amount of training for clients, either face-to-face or via webinars but our clients were demanding greater flexibility in when and how they received the training they needed. With the new e-learning module, Acuity Academy now provides this.
“It gives organisations access to legally accurate training written by the same lawyers who advise on these issues every day. With decisions being made faster and under greater pressure, businesses need confidence that the guidance they rely on is accurate and up to date.”
Flexible Access for Businesses
Acuity Academy can be accessed independently of Acuity Law’s legal services, allowing businesses to use the platform as a standalone training solution. Where more tailored or complex advice is required, organisations can seamlessly engage Acuity Law’s legal expertise.
The launch forms part of Acuity Law’s broader strategy to deliver a more rounded client offering, combining legal advice, technology and training to better support businesses as they grow and adapt.
