Paul Philip – Chief Executive of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) – will be speaking at the Bond Solon Expert Witness Conference on Friday 8 November 2024.

Paul has stated: “Solicitors have an overriding duty to uphold the rule of law and the administration of justice. So any pressure being brought to bear to influence witnesses to act in a particular way beyond their competence or give unduly favourable opinions unsupported by evidence are the type of things we are very interested in as a regulator.”

Attend this session to hear Paul explain the role of the SRA, the code of conduct and SRA guidance for solicitors, particularly in relation to litigation, and for an understanding of what to do in situations where you face issues of unethical conduct with instructing solicitors.

Sam Townsend KC, the Chair of the Bar - the working relationship between barristers and experts, including common issues and how to deal with them.
Annual legal update – covers the key changes concerning experts over the past twelve months.
Debate: Experts are from Mars and Solicitors from Venus. Can their relationship ever be harmonious? – a top solicitor and a leading expert witness will exchange their views.
Parallel sessions – tailor your conference experience by selecting from a medico-legal, commercial, criminal or family parallel session.
