  • The practicalities of Gateway 2 to Gateway 3
  • Claims for building safety defects
  • Outcomes of the Grenfell Inquiry
  • Principal Accountable Person: duties and obligations
  • The data challenge for landlords: maintaining the golden thread
  • In-occupation costs recovery focus: Landlord Certificates and costs of compliance with the new regime 

Chaired by Rebecca Rees, Head of our Cross-Firm Building Safety Team and Partner, Douglas Rhodes. Full profiles of the speakers can be viewed below.
