Costs - Opportunities & Threats in Commercial Litigation Live at Your Desk

Introduction

This virtual classroom seminar examines the key risks and opportunities emerging from significant developments in the constantly shifting costs landscape. It is designed for professionals who want to achieve the strongest possible results for both their clients and their practice.

With the introduction of fixed costs in October 2023 and the ongoing evolution of the solicitor-client relationship through case law, particularly in relation to informed consent, staying up to date is more crucial than ever.

By attending this live session, you will learn how to recognise risks and opportunities, respond effectively, and enhance your overall outcomes. The live session also offers practical guidance on the steps you can take to ensure you are fully prepared to manage new challenges in this dynamic area, safeguarding both your clients and your firm.
