WEBINAR: Freedom of Information Act

Join our webinar on 22nd January at 12.30pm to hear directly from our information law experts.

Speakers: John Goss, Conor Monighan and Eleanor Guildford.

John, Conor and Eleanor, all barristers practising in information law, will provide:

• An overview of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 – including an update on the latest case law.
• Advice on the practicalities of advising public sector clients on FOIA requests and exemptions, and helping private sector clients affected as third parties.
• Advanced tips and strategic options for those familiar with FOIA litigation.

Whether you specialise in public law, data protection or litigation more widely, this is a valuable opportunity to sharpen your knowledge and stay ahead in a complex and critical area of law.
