Planning Law For Property Lawyers

Introduction

This full day seminar has been specifically designed for lawyers who practise commercial property, residential property or both. It will also be of interest to those acting for developers and also those who are thinking of branching out from their present discipline and specialising in planning law. It will bring delegates completely up to date with problems arising in day to day matters.

Time will be allowed for an open question and answer session and delegates are invited to bring examples of any problems and these will be addressed throughout the day.
