TECHNOLOGY AND CONSTRUCTION SOLICITORS ASSOCIATION – TECHNICAL COURSE The Technology and Construction Solicitors' Association ("TeCSA") was established in 1990 to represent solicitors involved in litigation in the Technology and Construction Court which involves construction, engineering technology and IT disputes. One of TeCSA's principal objectives is to encourage higher standards and greater efficiency of its members in their work. In furtherance of that objective TeCSA now launches: The “Technical Course” The Technical Course marks a new venture for TeCSA. We have identified our members want to learn more about technical subjects in construction that arise in their legal vocation as practising construction lawyers. The aim is to provide members and solicitors in members' firms with the opportunity to learn more about such key subjects we have identified and they have identified to us. The Technical Course lectures aim to be stimulating and enlightening. The programme starts in May in the year in London, and then into the regions. Places will be limited to 50. The aim is to keep the dynamics focused on the most useful areas encountered by members construction practices. The Programme N N D Nooo...
