Become as comfortable with numbers as you are with words

About the tutor: I'm Bruce Greig, and I am a commercial mediator. I previously built two businesses from start-up to sale. So I have met a lot of lawyers, and I have noticed that many lawyers are not confident with maths. In 2020, I started doing a live maths course for lawyers over Zoom. I have carefully reworked the material from those live zoom lessons into the series of videos and exercises that make up this course.

What others say about my live Maths for Smart Lawyers sessions

“I thought I'd engage in some home-schooling for myself and I was not disappointed. Maths, probabilities and spreadsheets should form part of lawyers' training.”

HE, Former President of the London Solicitors Litigation Association

“Never liked double maths at school but two hours with Bruce flashed by. Entertaining, informative, useful.”

SW, Solicitor & Mediator

“Many thanks Bruce for a most useful and enjoyable session.”

JQ, Data Protection Solicitor

About your tutor

Bruce Greig

I started life as a management consultant, fresh out of Oxbridge, where I learned to pilot a spreadsheet at breakneck speed. I've spent twenty years building businesses, so I'm very comfortable dealing with all sorts of accounting issues. I now practise as an accredited commercial mediator, so I have a solid ground of legal knowledge. People tell me that I'm very good at explaining things.
