This half day online conference covers a wide range of very topical issues in Financial Mis-Selling. It will be delivered by six speakers, all of whom are experts in this difficult and complex area of work. Each will present a 25 minute session on their specific topic and there will be ample time for questions. Topics will range widely, and will include, for example:  an analysis of recent case law through to collective investment schemes, and the mis-selling of pensions.

The conference will be streamed live, direct to your desktop, tablet or smart phone so you can watch it from your office or home wherever you are in the world. You can participate in the conference live or watch the recorded version whenever you want. In each case you will receive a recording of the complete conference after the event.

The price for this is £210. This is a per organisation price, and up to 19 of your colleagues can participate  absolutely free of charge, even if they are viewing it from a different location or at a different time. So, of course, if there are 10 of you the cost per delegate would be just £21.00 per head

For smaller firms (those with 4 partners or less) the price is £99 for a single ticket with no additional delegates

 This is streets ahead of an ordinary passive webinar or online course experience with one speaker, which often gets very tedious in a very short time. We have 6 speakers covering 7 topics. 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.

Important Notes about Booking

1. If you are booking more than say 14 delegates, it is probably better to make two bookings of half the number of delegates each, starting with the paying delegate and then adding half the free delegates to that booking and then creating a new booking for the rest of the free delegates. The reason for this is that the booking platform time-out kicks in perhaps too quickly and you can lose all the information you inputted. Alternatively you can book your first delegate and send the names, job titles and email addresses of the additional delegates to us at info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk

2. Payment can be made by credit or debit card or alternatively by invoice. The option to pay by invoice is below the pay by card option in the booking form

3. If you have more than 20 delegates then extra delegates are £20 each. Contact us at info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk to arrange this

4. If you don't have the complete list of who will be attending you can book for those that you know will be attending and add the others at a later date

5. If you would like to submit questions in advance to the speakers please send them to info@legaltrainingconsultancy.co.uk
