Lauren Smith (Moray & Agnew), Andrew Herring (North Herring Lawyers) and Debra Parker (Parker Coles Curtis) join forces as a panel to discuss legal ethical issues based on imaginative and possibly entertaining hypothetical scenarios. This was an interactive session in which all attendees were encouraged to contribute to the discussion as the panel worked through the hypothetical scenarios. In‑person attendance was highly recommended for maximum benefit
