Steven Mather presents this live and interactive broadcast which will look at the case law which sets out the rules for full, fair and accurate disclosure so that sellers can be sure they have maximised the protection available to them, and buyers can ensure that they will not be caught out.

If you have some experience of corporate transaction work but are looking for a clearer understanding of the legal issues involved in disclosure and tips on how to make those rules work in your favour, then this course is for you.
