How to Handle Statutory Inquiries - Strengthen Your Skills

Introduction

Modern statutory inquiries are in the spotlight like never before. From child abuse and terrorism to high-profile murders and even the Covid-19 pandemic, these inquiries scrutinise events that shake public trust.

If your client faces a statutory inquiry, they will not just be reviewed, they will be examined in detail and in public. Senior staff may have to give oral evidence on camera, as the Post Office hearings vividly demonstrated. The stakes are high and the impact on your client’s reputation can be profound.

Navigating a statutory inquiry requires expert guidance. This essential webinar will equip you with the skills to engage effectively, provide sound advice, and shape your client’s narrative. You will learn best practices drawn from real inquiry work, ensuring your client’s story is clearly and convincingly communicated.

Register today to gain the knowledge and confidence to guide your client through one of the most demanding processes in public law.
