Legalex event

Searches UK is also delighted to announce that for the third year in a row it will be exhibiting at Legalex for the two-day event at the ExCeL in London on 11 and 12 May.

Searches UK will explore 'The Art of Conveyancing Searches', with solicitors and conveyancers visiting its stand, located at the entrance of the exhibition on stand L400, to be guided through the wide range of conveyancing searches and other added value benefits available to them through the Searches UK art gallery concept.

Lisa Summerton, the sales and marketing director at Searches UK, said: 'We're really excited about exhibiting at Legalex and our team look forward to meeting many solicitors and conveyancers on the day to reveal our art stand. I believe that Searches UK offers something unique and personal to firms and we'll be available all day to discuss our service in more detail. We've taken a fun approach to the stand and hope the delegates visiting us enjoy the journey and concept we've put together.'

Tom Backhouse, the managing director at Terrafirma Mine Searches Ltd, will also speak with Andrew Stenning to investigate the issues of abandoned mineral workings and the problems they can cause property and land, before reviewing recent trends, statistics, and case studies for mineral extraction-related ground instability and analysing why mining-risk assessment is becoming so important in the conveyancing, development, insurance, and construction sectors. Their session will take place in the Conveyancing Theatre on 12 May at 1pm.
