The Society of Construction Law (UK) is pleased to announce its upcoming regional seminar in Leicester, focused on providing a comprehensive update on the rapidly evolving legal landscape of the UK construction industry. This session is designed to bridge the gap between complex legal theory and practical site-based application.
The 2026 update will focus heavily on the maturation of the Building Safety Act 2022 and its secondary legislation, which has now become a central pillar of project risk management. Our guest speakers, comprising leading Barristers and Senior Partners from Tier-1 construction firms, will break down recent landmark Court of Appeal decisions regarding payment disputes, "smash and grab" adjudications, and the interpretation of "fitness for purpose" versus "reasonable skill and care" in design-and-build contracts.
Beyond the black-letter law, the seminar will explore the growing influence of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) requirements in standard form contracts like the JCT and NEC4. We will discuss how decarbonization goals are being translated into enforceable contractual obligations and the potential for "green" disputes.
The event concludes with a structured networking session, allowing attendees to discuss regional market trends with peers in a professional yet relaxed environment. Whether you are navigating professional indemnity insurance hurdles or managing complex delay claims, this event provides the clarity needed to mitigate risk in 2026.
