Events by The Solicitors Group

The legal sector is navigating a period of unprecedented statutory amendments, modernizing regulatory expectations, and deep structural procedural shifts. Staying compliant while offering top-tier advisory services requires continuous professional evolution. The LAW2026 Nottingham Legal CPD Conference—strategically hosted at the Pride Park Stadium in Derby to comfortably serve practitioners across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and the wider East Midlands region—stands as the definitive face-to-face legal training event of the year. Curated specifically for forward-thinking legal professionals, this extensive one-day conference delivers high-caliber, content-led learning directly from the UK’s leading legal experts and regulatory thought leaders. Attendees have the opportunity to immerse themselves in deep-dive educational streams mapping out critical updates across key practice areas, including Family Law, Wills & Probate, Residential Property, Commercial Property, and Criminal Law. With the legal landscape rapidly changing, these comprehensive sessions are meticulously built to dissect recent case law, statutory developments, and legal guidelines. Rather than simply relaying the law, our expert speakers focus heavily on practical compliance, risk management, and procedural strategy, enabling you to safeguard your practice, limit liability, and directly improve your everyday client service. Continuous Professional Development and Sourcing Earning verifiable CPD hours is a core focus, but the conference is built to deliver holistic business value far beyond mandatory regulatory checkboxes. Alongside the classroom-style educational seminars, the event hosts a dynamic legal services exhibition floor. This specialized marketplace brings together market-leading suppliers, legal tech innovators, medical agencies, and expert witnesses under one roof. Practitioners can test new practice management software, evaluate risk management tools, and negotiate custom solutions tailored to boost the efficiency and output of their firm. The face-to-face format provides an environment where regional professionals can network with colleagues, discuss shared operational friction points, and form strategic alliances. By stepping away from the desk for a single dedicated day, you invest in specialized knowledge and physical connections that protect and advance your firm's competitive edge.
