Our experts discuss the purpose of the Conference with Counsel and how it fits into the litigation process. They will talk you through the format, share tips for preparing for and attending the conference, and look at the likely follow-up actions.
Having read Dr Simon Fox KC’s agenda for our mock conference, you will complete a practical task outlining how you would prepare for this conference.
For the next task, you observe a mock claimant Conference with Counsel, involving the instructing solicitor, medical expert and client.
By observing these exchanges, you will build your understanding of how the Conference with Counsel works and how the evidence is tested. You will learn about the importance of detailed preparation and develop your techniques for dealing with robust challenges to your opinion.
In this final part of the course, you will reflect on what you have seen in the mock conference by completing some multiple-choice questions.
