Residential Conveyancing Update - Online Half-Day Conference

This half day, 8 session, 7 speaker online conference is a comprehensive analysis of a wide range of key topics that will appeal to the residential conveyancer who needs to keep up-to-date with all the latest developments in law and practice, from the drawbacks of Covid clauses in conveyancing contracts through to a view from the Land Registry on digital signatures and the important current issues on professional negligence, plus many other hot topics.

This online conference will be streamed live, direct to your desktop, tablet or smart phone so you can watch it from your office or home. The price for this is £210. This is a per organisation price, so up to 20 of your colleagues can participate at no extra charge, even if they are viewing it from a different location. So for example, if there are 10 of you the cost per delegate would be just £21.00. All those who book will receive a video recording of the complete conference shortly after the event

NEW: Alternatively for smaller firms with 4 or fewer partners there is a single ticket option at £90.

This is streets ahead of an ordinary passive webinar or online course experience with one or two speakers, which often gets very tedious in a very short time. We have 7 speakers. With this online conference, you will be able to participate with your colleagues as you want - either live, or in segments (perhaps viewing it a session at a time over several days/weeks) or on an on-demand, recorded basis. You will be able to take part by video or audio to watch or hear our panel of expert speakers cover the current hot topics, and answer or ask questions,  from the comfort of your office or home.

(In the morning we will be holding a separate Leasehold Enfranchisement Update half day conference. You can find the details here:

An Online Conference?

We have now held many proper full day and half day online conferences and, as a concept it works very well, and sitting in front of a screen for a long time is not too big an ask for delegates. It has consistently worked extremely well, and is as far removed from the boring and dull old one hour webinar as it was possible to be. Comments we have received include:

"My unvoiced fear that it would be as dull as webinars used to be when I was in practice was banished fairly quickly"

"I thought that today went very well and glitch free"

"The conference seemed all to work well and top marks...[to The Legal Training Consultancy] ... for organising and persisting with it"

"Just a quick note to say that I thought today was excellent - Well done".
