The advice avoided the legal issue I was confronted with and that enabled me to focus on moving my business forward. The fact that you provided the advice on a complementary basis further warms me to build a business relationship with the team at Dilanchian. Thank you." (20 June 2007)

"Deden is a wealth creation training business. The Dilanchian Keeping it Real business luncheon seminar was a great afternoon out. I'm always delighted to learn new things and meet new people, especially over lunch. Dilanchian has its eye fixed firmly on the ball, providing outstanding speakers and having the topics central to a fast paced business environment. In today's high paced world it is good to be able to sit down with and learn from, great business minds. I can highly recommend Dilanchian training seminars as a great place to meet top members of the business community and to learn about new business ideas." (3 November 2005)

"From the Short Contrasts Workshop the important insights for me were the realisation that more flexibility can be built into the content of a contract and the idea of there being a "standard architecture" to contracts." (19 January 2006)

"As the CFO of an IT company who had no formal training in law, yet who is in charge of reading legal contracts and writing them, I found the Short Contracts Workshop achieved results beyond my expectations. The Workshop is presented in an interesting but very focused way by Noric Dilanchian, who has got insights on and knowledge of our industry. I have learnt what to read when I am given a contract, and what not to be missed or mistaken when I write a contract. The most important thing I have walked away with, is the confidence I have gained. This Workshop is highly recommended." (23 January 2006)

"Thank you for making the Short Contracts Workshop so informative and enjoyable - there is nothing worse than a drab instructor. Your vigour and enthusiasm, for your subject, certainly makes a difference to other solicitors and other courses which I have been involved with in the past." (30 January 2006)
