A single poorly drafted internal regulation, or an administrative decision issued without the right legal basis, can expose an organisation to disputes, penalties, and reputational damage. Legal administration sits exactly at that intersection between law and day-to-day governance. This Training Course from Arab British Fellowship Training Academy equips legal professionals, public administrators, and policymakers with the legal grounding needed to manage that intersection with confidence.

The programme covers the foundations of administrative law, the responsibilities of administrative agencies, and the governance principles that guide public administration, alongside regulatory compliance, administrative procedures, and the legal rights of individuals — reinforced throughout with case studies and practical discussion so participants can contribute effectively to sound governance and policy implementation.
