Law Business Research Acquires MBL Seminars Ltd
London, 28 June 2023 – Law Business Research Ltd (LBR), a portfolio company of Levine Leichtman Capital Partners (LLCP), announced today that it has acquired MBL Seminars Ltd (MBL), a market-leading provider of learning and development solutions for the professional services sector.
MBL delivers a flexible proposition covering the latest updates and practical know-how in law, compliance and accountancy. MBL’s heritage in legal training has provided a platform to expand into the broader professional services sector, where its close ties with a network of over 500 expert speakers allow the delivery of over 9,000 course topics.

The combined product suite is highly complementary and presents multiple opportunities for improved client engagement, commercial growth and geographic expansion.
