2 November 2023 (Leeds) | 9 November 2023 (Manchester) | 28 November 2023 (London)

The fast-moving and often complex nature of change within the construction industry means a comprehensive and up to date understanding of contractual and commercial issues has always been essential to success.

To promote understanding of recent important changes and issues, Hawkswell Kilvington are presenting a series of half-day seminars to bring you fully up to speed. Book your place today!

The Seminar Will Cover:

  • The Defective Premises Act – a comprehensive review of its role in building safety including key provisions and potential defences; important changes introduced by the Building Safety Act 2022; and recent judicial consideration including retrospectivity and the duty owed to developers.
  • Limitation of Liability – we consider the negotiation and drafting of assorted contractual limitation and exclusion clauses and their profound bearing on the allocation of financial risk.
  • Case Law Update – our seminar will conclude with a review of recent cases dealing with payment, jurisdiction and limitation of actions, including several key decisions at appellate level.
