What’s better than great leadership training…? When the CMI think so too!
We’re proud to share that our Emerging Leaders development programme has been officially mapped by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) – marking another first for Dutton Gregory as we continue to set new standards in professional development within the legal sector. This is an impressive endorsement for our internal training programmes.
This mapping confirms that our programme meets the CMI’s nationally recognised benchmarks for high-quality leadership and management training, affirming the depth, structure, and quality of what we’re delivering internally to develop confident, capable leaders.
In the words of our People & Development Director, Dawn Hillman, ‘Our Emerging Leaders course being recognised by the CMI is a powerful endorsement of the quality and impact of our internal development offer. It shows that we’re not just investing in our people – we’re setting new standards in the legal sector for how that’s done. This is significant not only for internal progression, but for those looking to join us in the future. They can be assured of the highest quality training, acknowledged by the most widely recognised and respected professional standard. I’m immensely proud that Dutton Gregory are leading the way for the legal industry’.
Why is this important?
In a fast-evolving legal landscape, strong leadership isn’t optional – it’s essential. For our clients, it means being supported by teams led with clarity, confidence, and care. For our people, it ensures development is not only taken seriously but is delivered to a standard that stands up against national benchmarks. And for the firm, it’s a tangible sign of our commitment to our culture of progression.
We believe we’re the first law firm to have a leadership programme of this kind recognised by the CMI – a reflection of our forward-thinking approach and our ambition to lead, not follow. At Dutton Gregory, we don’t just talk about being progressive – we prove it. We’re confident that these benefits will be felt across the business; from teams with first-class leadership, and for clients engaging with an efficient and progressive organisation.
