A one-day conference

Date: 14th February 2019
The claims landscape in Ireland has changed dramatically over the last few years and the process has become more complex than ever. Recent efforts through the PIC Reports and recommendations, Cost of Insurance working Group and Personal Injuries Assessment Board (Amendment) (No.2) Bill 2018 will hopefully see some change for the better going forward.

The aim of this conference is to give delegates a firm overview of what to expect in terms of changes in the claims management space over the next 12/24 months and how to prepare accordingly
CMG’s annual Claims Management conferences have been hugely successful and very heavily attended. Therefore we expect the 2019 conference to be again even bigger and better with a new revised programme of the latest issues affecting the sector and possible solutions to use going forward.
This is a must attend event for all professionals involved in the claims process, from barristers to solicitors, insurers, public and private sector bodies to name just a few.
