Legal Action Group set out 2026 events calendar

The Legal Action Group (LAG)—the UK charity dedicated to advancing access to justice—has unveiled its calendar of training courses, seminars and conferences designed to support lawyers, advisers and other legal professionals in tackling key areas of public interest law

Highlights include the second annual Domestic Abuse and Housing Law Conference on 24 March delivered in conjunction with Garden Court Chambers, focusing on on the intersection between domestic abuse and housing law.

Also taking place in March is a series of four seminars offering clear and practical online training on housing law, incorporating the latest changes from the Renters' Rights Act, and a half-day conference on 27 March updating social welfare lawyers on Mental Health Act reforms.

In April, the housing law focus continues with a webinar rounding up news, policy and legislative developments hosted by Catherine O'Donnell of Garden Court.

Further information can be found on the LAG's training and events page.
