Join us for this joint All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) and UKELA event.

The webinar will provide a timely opportunity to get up to speed with recent climate change developments and understand how they might impact on legal practice over the next few years.

What will the increased levels of ambition in the UK’s 2030 target and the requirement for a net zero transition by 2050 mean for your clients and practice area? How might legal documents and practice change to reflect changing business practices across multiple sectors including finance, energy generation, land use and commercial supply chains.

We are delighted to welcome expert speakers to this event, which is not to be missed!
