Are you a consultant, contractor, or someone who engages them? If so, this is a session you can’t afford to miss.
Have you ever wondered whether you or your consultant should notify an insurer? Faced a dispute between contractors? Debated who should own a report? Worried about the risk of a cyber incident, or about sensitive information finding its way into an AI platform?
These issues arise more often than you might think, and the consequences can be costly.
Join some of HWLE’s brightest (and most entertaining) partners for an engaging and practical session on the legal challenges facing consultants, contractors and their clients. The evening will feature real-world case studies, actionable insights, and an interactive panel discussion where attendees can put their questions directly to leading legal experts. You’ll leave with practical strategies to navigate risk, avoid common pitfalls, and better protect your business, reputation, and peace of mind.
