Our popular “Silks Roadshow” has been running for several years touring cities in the UK and is now moving online in two parts.
Part 1
Part one, takes place on Thursday 25 June 2020 and is chaired by Alexander Nissen QC. It covers a talk on contribution proceedings by Simon Hargreaves QC followed by a session on COVID-19 , and its impact on commercial and construction law including force majeure and construction claims by Sean Wilken QC. All three silks will then be available for a 15 minute panel Q&A. You are invited to submit questions in advance or on the Q&A panel during the live event. Registration will open later this week.
