Free webinar Friday 25th July 2025 – Backhouse Jones

BACK on air FREE webinar this Friday

Sign off for summer with us – one last BACK on air before the break!

Join us this Friday for our final live Q&A session before we take a summer pause (we’ll be back on 5 September). BACK by popular demand, we’re opening the floor once more for your questions – big or small – answered live by our legal experts.

We’ll also revisit hot topics and questions left over from previous sessions, so nothing gets left in the inbox over summer.

Whether you’re an operator, transport manager, HR or compliance lead, or managing legal risks of any kind, this is your chance to get clarity before the holiday season kicks in.

Send your questions in advance to [email protected] or ask live on the day.

Join us at 12 noon on Friday 25 July.
