About this Conference

The topic of claims is never far from the news, last year saw the introduction of the new Personal Injuries Guidelines, and we are already seeing the implications of them.

This event will examine the new guidelines in more detail, as well as the Judicial impact. We will explore how to tackle and report insurance fraud, how to defend and avoid claims, the law when it comes to CCTV, the growing trend of mediation, and the future outlook on the industry.

This is a must attend event, as you will hear the latest updates from leading barristers, an Garda Siochana, legal professionals and much more. All attendees will get access to highly informative presentations, will have ample Q&A opportunities, and will be able to access all video presentations after the event.
