EXPLORING THE BUILDING SAFETY ACT 2022
ACE is delighted to share a member-only webinar presented by its legal affiliate, Beale & Co exploring the implications of the Building Safety Act 2022 on Tuesday 6 December 2022 at 11am to 12pm.
Laura Hague, chair of ACE’s Health & Safety forum, will welcome Michael Salau and Joanna Lewis of Beale & Co. Together they will explore the new duty holder regime, extensions to the limitation period, enactments, potential coverage issues and risk management, and discuss the potential future scope and possible extensions to the Act.
Michael and Joanna have extensive experience in construction law and will share their expert insight on how the Act potentially impacts the day-to-day work of ACE members. Their extensive experience of construction law will help bring clarity to the new legislation.
As with all ACE member-only webinars, there will be an opportunity for Q&As and the chance to ask your questions directly to the experts. This is a great opportunity to get clarity and gain a fuller understanding of what the new legislation means.
Attendance is vital for those working for an SME or large consultancy on building safety, or in insurance related areas. Places are free to anyone working for an ACE or EIC member, simply book online now with your work email address (coming soon).
