The Law Society, Common Room

Thank you for your interest but the ticket sales have now ended.

In this inaugural and exclusive event, hosted by Groundsure, hear from leading lawyers, policymakers and experts across the industry and gain practical guidance on how to advise your clients about the impacts of climate risks on residential and commercial property transactions. Do you understand the impacts climate change will have on your clients’ land and buildings – and the implications for client care? Climate change is already having significant impacts on how lenders, insurers and other stakeholders view risk through the transaction. Bank of England compliance and ESG considerations are now material factors in how clients should be advised as to how climate change could affect them – and the risk of law firms being sued for failing to alert clients.
