This essential guidance aims to support solicitors navigating the complexities of climate-related risks in property transactions, from physical and transition risks to legal liability considerations.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
- review and critique the proposed best practices for advising clients on climate risks
- explore practical challenges and opportunities when implementing the guidance in residential and commercial property contexts
- share insights and suggestions to refine the note for maximum clarity, utility, and professional applicability
Both roundtables will take place under Chatham House rules. Your contributions will play a critical role in shaping this guidance to ensure it meets the needs of solicitors and their clients in the evolving property market.
Join us to enhance this new resource and support the legal profession’s readiness to address climate change challenges effectively.
Places are limited on both roundtables and will be reserved on a first-come-first-served basis. Complete either form by Wednesday 19 February 2025.
