Defining the retainer – a guide for residential practitioners

Residential conveyancing practitioners face ever increasing demands. It seems to be expected that you are experts in and be able to advise on all aspects of a wide range of issues such as planning, building regulations, knotweed, bamboo, contaminated land, SDLT, CGT, building safety and climate change.

It is implicit in a solicitor’s retainer that advice will be given which is reasonably incidental to the work being undertaken but how far does that extend and how if at all can you limit your responsibility.

This webinar will look at:

• SRA & statutory requirements
• Liability in contract & Tort
• Limiting liability
• The importance of defining what you will do
