Professional Development Workshops
Workshop 1 – 14 September 2023
The first in a series of member “Professional Development Workshops” on the roles of the various people working in the property industry.
The lawyers drew the short straw, so they went first!
Our motivation around the Workshops is to learn and understand how other roles work, helping us with our part in the development process.
So what do lawyers really do on property developments, are they really necessary, how do you keep them under control, what do they really say to your buyers & do you need a licence to keep one as pet?
Guest Speakers –
David Buckley – BDB
Sarah Smith – CSG Law
Mikaela Harris – Law Essentials
Workshop 2 – 29 November 2023

Our motivation around the Workshops is to learn and understand how other roles work, helping us with our part in the development process.
