Do Defence Solicitors communicate well enough with Brokers and Claims Handlers?

You may or may not know the definitive answer to the above question, and I suspect your answer depends on which side of the fence you sit!

Almost certainly you will have some views on this subject.

I would like to invite you to join us at Great North House for one of two sessions we are running to address the above dilemma.

The same seminar will be run twice, the first being the evening of Monday 8th November at 5.00pm and the second session the following morning at 8.00am on Tuesday 9th November 2004.

The seminars will be informal and a relaxed atmosphere encouraged so please join us.

Below is the programme for this event.

Please registering your attendance by email cruteslawfirm@crutes.co.uk or by telephone to Emma Hague on 0191 2339700. Please be sure to state which session you will be attending.

Please feel free to pass this invitation onto any of your colleagues which you feel may be interested.
