Professional Negligence & Liability

Analysing the impact of the reform of legal services on written risk across the professions

Introduction

With the new SRA Handbook due in April and the advent of ABSs in October, this is an industry in flux. Outcomesfocused regulation will replace the current detailed rules with ‘professional standards’ and non-mandatory ‘indicative behaviours’ will show whether an outcome has or has not been achieved.

The SRA has launched a consultation on future client financial protection arrangements which has proposed radical reforms to current indemnity insurance including scrapping the single renewal date, removing claims by financial institutions from the compulsory MTC and changes to the ARP. But what impact will these potential reforms have on the writing of PII risk?

Chaired by Sue Carr QC, Four New Square, this conference will also offer you a full update on all recent decisions and developments across the full professional indemnity sector. The afternoon sessions have been streamed to offer you an opportunity to tailor the day to your specific training
requirements.
