WHAT TO DO WHEN THINGS GO WRONG IN LITIGATION 2025: WEBINAR 4th AUGUST 2025

One of the most aggravating things to read about in the legal press are those cases where people get into serious disciplinary trouble after having made a procedural or other mistake. It is not the mistake that has caused their difficulties but the subsequent efforts to deal with the matter, often by concealment or some kind of deception. There is a continual flow of reports that deal with errors made in relation to limitation, service or someone falling foul of the rules or court orders.   It is often the case that  if prompt and careful steps hasd been taken many of the matters could have been put right.  Of more concern are those cases where lawyers run into professional and ethical problems because they have concealed a mistake or not dealt with it properly. It is often delay, and taking the “wrong” decision that leads to matters getting worse.  This webinar aims to guide litigators as to the appropriate steps to take if mistakes occur . It is of interest to litigators, those who supervise them and those who manage a firm.  Booking details are available here.
