A comprehensive understanding of the legal challenges facing local government is potentially the most valuable knowledge local government decision makers can possess.

All too often public organisations leave themselves open to costly legal challenges and painful revisions to major initiatives thanks to a superficial legal awareness.

Equally, it is hard to get a comprehensive picture without excessive study or an expensive counsel. This event is your cost effective solution.
