DCN is delighted to announce that we’ve entered a new partnership with Birketts LLP, a top 50 UK law firm specialising in advising the public sector.
Birketts will be providing a package of training materials to DCN members in relation to local government reorganisation and devolution, with a particular focus on the legal aspects of LGR. The package will include bitesize webinars, articles, webinars, and workshops.
We’re pleased to say that the first two pre-recorded bitesize webinars are now available. They feature interviews with senior lawyers.
You can access the webinars, and the accompanying articles, by clicking here.
The webinars will cover:
- LGR: overview of the Birketts LGR support programme – recording available now
- LGR and employment matters – recording available now
- LGR and governance – recording available soon
- LGR and real property – recording available soon
- LGR and planning law – recording available soon
Birketts will in January run a live webinar and panel discussion, at which expert speakers will discuss “the LGR story so far and preparing for LGR”. Members of the panel will be available to answer your questions on the day. Please look out for the invitation, which we will issue soon.
In the new year we will also provide details about the workshops and though leadership events.
You can find out more information about Birketts in the Partners section of the DCN website.
