Building Safety Act in action

What happens when theory meets practise? There is still much uncertainty surrounding the impact upon the construction sector of the new statutory and regulatory regime brought about by the Building Safety Act.

Our experts will discuss the obligations placed upon dutyholders, how those duties are to be complied with the consequent liabilities for dutyholders and their insurers, particularly those professional indemnity and public liability (EL/PL) policies.

Join us, in person, to explore how you can navigate the complexities of your industry and find solutions for your sector.

Lunch will be provided on arrival, so please see the agenda below and RSVP today.
