Property law practitioners can hear about the lessons already learned since the introduction of seller disclosure obligations in August at this year’s Queensland Law Society Property and Commerical Law Conference.
The 18 September event will offer two property tracks, including the session Seller Disclosure – lessons learnt after commencement, and a third commercial law track.
For those dealing with property transactions, the seller disclosure panel will help delegates understand the background of the legislative framework. Lexon will also provide an update on the issues that have arisen since the commencement based on practitioner feedback.
QLS organised a statewide seller disclosure roadshow this year to assist with the 1 August requirements.
Key roadshow presenters, Professor Sharon Christensen, Executive Dean, QUT Faculty of Business and Law, and Simon LaBlack, Legal Practitioner Director of LaBLack Lawyers, will also present at the conference.
