Description
Chair:
Nick Pantlin, Partner, Herbert Smith Freehills LLP
Speaker:
Richard Stephens, Principal, LORS
Richard Stephens, the acknowledged guru of IT contract law, brought his unmissable annual update to London and Leeds again in 2020.
Hundreds of delegates over the years will testify to the usefulness of the event in which Richard distils the key cases decided over the year and encapsulates what they mean for the commercial tech lawyer. Importantly, Richard ranges much further than pure tech law to bring you the lessons learnt from contract cases in other areas of practice, many of which might normally go under your radar, and uses his practical experience in IT contracts to present ideas of how to cope with any changes.
All delegates also gain access to Richard’s legendary slides, which provide the backbone of his talk and provide an incredibly useful resource for use in your daily practice.
