COVID-19: online events

The Law Society has cancelled all face-to-face events until the end of July 2020, in response to the COVID-19 outbreak

In a statement this week, it thanked staff and members for the work put in to organise events and said it was reviewing online alternatives including podcasts, webinars and live events. Anyone who has already registered and paid to attend an event will be contacted and given a full refund. Speakers and sponsors will be contacted about alternative formats and ways to remain involved.

The Society said: ‘We will continue to monitor the situation daily and will keep members informed.’
