SRA Guidance for In House Lawyers
Tuesday 25 March 2025 | 14:00 - 15:00 | Virtual
In-house lawyers face unique challenges when applying their regulatory obligations compared with private practice.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority has recognised this and recently had a particular focus on this area, culminating in the publication of specific guidance for in-house lawyers at the end of 2024. This webinar will explain what the regulator expects of in-house teams in areas including identifying your client, reporting wrongdoing and maintaining privilege.
Commercial Contracts
Thursday 24 April 2025 | 11:00 - 12:00 | Virtual
Please join our experts in Commercial Contracts and Litigation & Dispute Resolution for this webinar on commercial contracts for in-house lawyers. We will discuss best practice for lawyers to manage the process of negotiating and agreeing contracts and address key terms in commercial contracts. We will also cover key issues to understand when possible contractual disputes loom, including how contractual terms may be interpreted and legal tools that may be deployed.
Fraud Prevention: are you ready?
Thursday 5 June 2025 | 11:00 - 12:00 | Virtual
