Chambers were delighted to host their first seminar in York on the 25th February last. Members spoke to over 70 solicitors based in the North-East on Proprietary Estoppel, Probate and Professional Negligence and Refusing to Mediate.

Due to the popularity of this event, we were unable to accomodate alot of delegates which has resulted in us running the seminar again in the near future. If you were unfortunate not to get in, please keep an eye on our seminars page where the event will be advertised again in due course.
