This online course designed specifically for Surrey Law Society offers members a hands-on approach to understanding and applying the Building Safety Act (BSA) in practice. Rather than focusing on theory, the session will delve into real-world scenarios that have arisen since the Act’s implementation. Participants will gain valuable insights into common challenges faced by firms and clients, practical solutions for navigating compliance, and proactive measures to avoid pitfalls. Case studies will highlight key lessons learned, while guidance on addressing unresolved issues will prepare attendees to tackle the Act’s complexities with confidence.

The session also explores gaps in the BSA, spotlighting situations where the legislation falls short and the potential legal and practical consequences for firms. Whether your practice is directly impacted by the BSA, or you’re interested in staying informed about this complex area, this course provides actionable knowledge and clarity. Perfect for practitioners managing challenges under the Act or those seeking to expand their expertise, it combines expert guidance, real-world examples, and practical strategies to ensure participants leave equipped to advise their clients effectively and mitigate risks.
