Conveyancing – A Changing Landscape

This year’s conference, in association with the Bold Legal Group, will be held at The Riverside Centre, Derby.

Following on from the success of last year’s event, we are delighted that Kate Faulkner will

be our host and it is a must for all licensed conveyancers.

The agenda includes:

•The Government to present on DCLG’s Call for Evidence on Improving the home buying and

selling process–the output from this could have a significant impact on the future of conveyancing (remember HIPs which came out of the last such review)

•The Competition and Markets Authority to present on what they will demand of lawyers in respect of transparency in delivering legal services in the future. In tandem with the DCLG exercise this could also have a major impact on our profession. The SLC and Bold Legal Group have already done a lot of work on a potential solution for conveyancers that we believe is balanced and proportionate and we will be demonstrating this at the Conference–your input is vital to the long-term shape and development of this solution.
Combined with all the other topical agenda items (that will include the latest on the Brabners searches VAT decision, the NHBC implementation of the Insurance Distribution Directive and the Land Registry’s digital strategy) the 2017 Conference is the most topical yet.

There will also be an informal dinner following the conference, at the iPro Stadium.

The event is free to all SLC members or £100 for non-members. To book, or for further details, please either email ania@conveyancers.org.uk or call 08714 237193.
