These Materials will help you:
Deepen and update your knowledge of due diligence and best practice.
Delve into issues that can (and do) arise pre-settlement and post-settlement.
Refresh your understanding of the options for litigation, including measure of damages, should that course be required.

Intended Audience:
Property lawyers, conveyancers and legal executives. Civil and commercial litigators are also likely to find it useful.
