Following on from the successful case law update earlier this year, Lester Aldridge’s Construction & Engineering team will be hosting a practical round table workshop on Wednesday 18 September 2024 at our new offices at Mountbatten House, Grosvenor Square, Southampton, SO15 2JU from 6.00pm to 8.30pm. Please join our team for an interactive and instructive evening during which you will explore the travails of Dermot ”Lucky” O’Reilly as he tries to build a dream luxury home. The workshop will offer practical advice and useful takeaways for developers, consultants, contractors and surveyors who are looking to expand their knowledge of JCT contracts’ provisions and mechanisms, and how to appropriately use these when things go wrong. Attendees will gain key practical tips which can immediately be used in current contract negotiations and live projects. The format will involve a round table discussion based on fictional scenarios in small groups of 8-10 people – each group being chaired by a Lester Aldridge Construction and Engineering lawyer. The workshop is intended to mimic a “site meeting” with plenty of builder’s tea and grub – save that no finger-pointing is allowed! There will also be an opportunity for attendees to network after the workshop. Hosted by: Amy Lewis, Rachel Gimson, Estelle Boullet & Stephen Rockhill There is no cost for this workshop. Free drinks and nibbles will be provided. To register your attendance, please click the link below or email Events@LA-Law.com Construction Workshop - Lester Aldridge

The built environment has a critical role to play in supporting these sectors, and only by understanding their needs can we ensure that our region’s development responds effectively. The Power of Collaboration: For too long, we’ve heard about the successes of other regions, but the South Coast is equally deserving of attention. This conference is our opportunity to: Demonstrate Progress: Highlight the exciting developments across our towns and cities, showcasing why the South Coast is a dynamic area ripe for investment. Profile Opportunities: Present the diverse investment and growth prospects across industries that are driving our regional economy forward. Address Challenges: Learn directly from key occupiers about the challenges they face in a rapidly evolving landscape of technology, flexible working, and shifting demands. Shape the Future: Bring together investors, developers, occupiers, and decision-makers to collaboratively develop strategies that meet the region’s emerging needs. A United Vision: This year's SCCPS Conference will serve as a comprehensive showcase of the South Coast’s unique strengths, presenting the latest market insights and opportunities. More importantly, it will be a forum for bringing people together to align on how we can better support the needs of end users. Through collective dialogue and collaboration, we can shape the built environment to not only meet today’s demands but to anticipate and drive tomorrow’s growth. Next Steps: We are counting on your participation to ensure that the South Coast becomes a premier investment and development destination. Your insight, expertise, and presence are vital as we unite to build a brighter future for our region.
