Residential Conveyancers’ Roundtable: Your voice for the future of conveyancing

Event date: 10 November, 2026 @12:00am-2:00pm
Book now

The summer of 2026 has brought us several things to consider regarding the future of residential conveyancing and its due diligence process.

Bristol Law Society and Landmark Information warmly invite you to a lunchtime roundtable to discuss topics such as:

The Government's Homebuying and Selling Reform announcement (19 June). How do you see the reforms working? What, if anything, should also be considered?
The effects of climate change seem more apparent – how should we inform our homebuyers?

As a property professional navigating the complexities of the property transaction process every day, we truly believe your perspective is invaluable in shaping change that works for all involved.

This roundtable session is for law firms based in the Bristol and Bath area and is aimed at those legal professionals involved in residential property transactions.

Your input into these important discussions would be hugely valued in developing the right solutions for conveyancers and their clients. We hope that you will be able to join us, share your views and network with your peers over a spot of lunch.

Roger Bull - Managing Partner, Burges Salmon
Three things to say about my experience of working with Bristol Law Society. Their central team, council members and general hangers-on are just about the nicest, most generous group of people working in the legal sector today. The numerous events, awards, socials and conferences I’ve had the pleasure to attend over the years have been, without exception, top quality and supremely organised. And, thirdly, they consistently exceed and challenge the boundaries of what lawyers might assume a regional Law Society will restrict activities to – from a hugely successful charitable school meals drive to corporate social responsibility and diversity campaigns to being joint architects and coordinators of the region’s unique Bristol+BathLegalTech group, which it has been my privilege to co-chair for the last five years.
Chris Bull - Principal, Edge International
As one of the leading Insurance brokers for law firms in the UK and with a large presence in Bristol it seemed only natural for us to support the Bristol Law Society. Bristol Law Society is one of the oldest and most vibrant of the Law Societies in England and Wales. We are pleased to be working with them on important matters relating to law firms’ liability insurances and Risk Management. From Sole Practitioner to Top 20 law firms we are sure our two organisations can provide excellent support and assistance for the challenges faced by the legal profession.

Joining BLS in 2013 and becoming President in 2018/19 has created many longstanding friendships and business relationships, whilst also unlocking doors to other opportunities in the City. BLS enabled a perfect balance of professional development and also opportunities to give back to the legal and wider community. I am pleased that my Firm has supported BLS in many capacities since 2013 and continues to do so.
