Commercial Risks & How To Manage Them

Date: 3rd July 2019

This half day seminar in London, organised by the Association of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists, will provide a focus on the effective management of commercial risks.

Who is it for?
Aimed at both junior and experienced ground engineers who are interested in improving their knowledge and skills within this sector, the event will also be relevant to practitioners approaching Chartership, as well as those in smaller practices where there may be limited or no in-house legally qualified sources of help or advice.

Chaired by Jo Strange, Technical Director at CGL, attending delegates will be provided with an introduction of the guidance and advice provided by the AGS Loss Prevention Working Group, with particular attention being given to recent hot topics. Delegates will also be encouraged to raise any issues they may have which would benefit from future attention or advice from the Group.
