Building Safety Act: The 2026 Practical Playbook for Drafting, Risk & Market Reality

12th MAY 2026  |  48 CHANCERY LANE, HOLBORN, WC2A 1JF

IN-PERSON SEMINAR & INDUSTRY NETWORKING BREAKFAST

Join our construction lawyers for a practical, market‑focused seminar examining how the Building Safety Act (BSA) continues to reshape contractual risk, drafting strategy and commercial behaviour across the construction and development sector.

This session cuts through theory to focus on what’s actually happening in contracts, negotiations and disputes.

Designed for developers, contractors, consultants, funders and construction professionals who need to understand how risk allocation and drafting are really changing – not just what the legislation says.

 

TOPICS INCLUDE:

 

  • Post‑BSA drafting – where risk now sits and what’s becoming market standard
  • Termination & insolvency risk – key lessons from Hexagon
  • Market reality – Budget impact, cost pressure and viability challenges

 

TIMINGS:

 

  • 8:50 am – Registration
  • 9:00 am – Seminar
  • 10:00 am – Industry breakfast networking
  • 11:00 am – Finish
