Annual Personal Injury Seminar 2025, in collaboration with The SIA, The Rehab Physio, and Rooprai Spinal Trust.
This all-day seminar will concentrate on spinal cord injury, in support of Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day. There will be several topical legal talks from members of our Personal Injury Team.
This seminar will be held in our Manchester Chambers. There will be an option to join by zoom, however we encourage in-person attendance to make the most of the event.
