The North Eastern Regulatory Lawyers (NERL) met recently for the second event of the year.
Hosted by Mark Thompson of DWF’s regulatory, compliance and investigations team, NERL had another strong attendance for its regulatory update sessions and networking.
Edmund Conybeare from Legal Studio and Matthew Breakell from DAC Beachcroft set up NERL more than 10 years ago.
The group brings together a strong community of regulatory solicitors and barristers from across Yorkshire and the Northeast for regular catch-ups, training and networking.
Although affected by COVID, the group has come back stronger in 2023 with a number of regular events.
The most recent event saw Park Square Barristers provide useful topical updates on the EU Retained Law Bill, bad character in health and safety prosecutions and a general inquest round-up, particularly regarding the case of Maughan.
The speakers on these issues included Craig Hassall KC, Janine Wolstenholme and Kirsten Mercer.
The group aims to meet on a quarterly basis and is a great opportunity for local regulatory lawyers to network and have a general catch-up.
If you are interested in attending any of the events, please contact Thompson via mark.thompson@dwf.law to be added to the distribution list.
The next meeting is currently planned for September and membership of NERL is free.
