The ongoing Covid-19 crisis has forced most businesses to rapidly implement remote working protocols in order to adapt, survive and continue working. This has presented significant challenges for businesses in managing cyber risks whilst implementing the necessary protocols to prevent data breaches and remain complaint with data protection regulations.
This webinar will provide an overview of the key cyber risks and data protection issues you need to be aware of based on recent examples from the market and cases dealt with by Beale & Co. It will provide concise, practical tips to enable you to identify areas of risk and to help implement strategies to prevent losses for businesses and their insurance providers.
The webinar will commence by reviewing recent the types of cyber-attacks you should be aware of, including recent examples of “Covid-19” themed cyber-attacks. It will then analyse the data protection issues arising from large numbers of employees working at home, such as lowering the risk of data breaches, and identifying possible employee issues and third party exposures.

With many construction firms either already back to work or planning an imminent return amidst the current government lockdown, there are a number of issues businesses should be considering to protect their staff, business and their projects in the future.
In this next COVID-19 webinar Partners Antony Smith and Sheena Sood will briefly recap what has happened over the last few weeks and advice given in our previous webinars, before moving on to focus on rebuilding and the future. From a legal/risk management perspective they will cover topics such as remobilisation issues, the importance of communication now more than ever and the longer term impact of COVID-19 on the construction industry.
This webinar will follow the next government announcement due on the 7 May where we expect there to be some guidance on the exit strategy for the country as a whole in relation to COVID-19. We will be drawing on any updated guidance provided during this webinar.

In this webinar, Andrew Croft (Beale & Company) and Stephen Milne (Beale & Company) speak about non-payment and recent issues considered by the TCC. They are joined by Rob Driscoll (Building and Engineering Services Association) who considers an innovative approach to tackling late payment by “digitising the payment process”.
Non-payment remains one of the biggest issues in the construction industry, with sums continuing to remain unpaid for significant periods on no proper basis and without proper notice. This is an industry wide issue, as evidenced by the introduction of the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 which gained Royal Assent in March 2015 and aims to introduce prompt payment reporting and by the number of cases in the Technology & Construction Court (“TCC”) dealing with payment issues.
We are therefore taking this opportunity to provide an update on these recent developments, looking at some of the pitfalls for both payees and payers, together with further practical tips aimed at ensuring that you remain well placed to deal with non-payment, however it occurs.
The recent flurry of TCC cases since our previous webinar provide useful “dos and don’ts” as to when and how to serve notices in order to maximise your chances of payment. A key message is that, in the absence of a valid pay less notice, the sum notified is the sum payable – the payer is not entitled to argue for a lower value in response to your claim for payment.
Recent issues considered by the TCC and which will be looked at in this webinar include:
the sum due in the absence of a valid pay less notice;
confirmation that the notified sum is the amount payable in the absence of a pay less notice;
the meaning of construction operations when determining whether the Construction Act applies;
when payment notices should be issued, including the dangers of issuing notices early;
the grounds on which a party may be relieved of its payment obligations following adjudication; and
implied contract terms entitling a party to recover overpayments following adjudication (even after limitation periods have expired).

Andrew Croft (Beale & Company) and Casey Rutland (Arup Associates) speak about current best practice in relation to BIM and the legal issues to consider in relation to BIM.
The UK construction industry has made significant progress in the adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM), following the UK Government’s mandate to use BIM on all public sector projects by 2016. Whilst this progress has been very rapid it has not been consistent across the industry, so it is important to have clarity as to what BIM means. Given the speed at which progress has been made it is also important to ensure that your organisation does not fall behind the curve.
This talk considers:
• What “BIM” actually means and how it impacts on the design process;
• Current best practice in relation to BIM, both at an organisational and project level;
• Common legal questions regarding the use of BIM; and
• How BIM is being reflected contractually.
Is your organisation keeping up with the rapid pace of BIM adoption in the UK? This webinar will provide useful guidance for your “BIM journey”.
