Formats

How a session may be structured

Panel or moderated discussion

A partner takes part alongside others and answers questions in his own discipline — capital, development or construction.

Workshop or teaching session

Practice material, worked through with an audience. Education sessions are usually run through the Academy rather than the firm.

Conference session or keynote

A single subject, prepared in advance, on the practice questions listed below.

Interview, podcast or recorded conversation

Same subjects, same limits. Recording and use are agreed in writing beforehand.

Invitation requirements

What organisers should send

The date, city, venue and the audience the session is for.
The format, the length and who else is on the platform.
Whether the session is recorded, and how the recording may be used.
Whether the partner is named in your promotion before the appearance is agreed in writing — he is not, until it is.
Which discipline the subject sits in, so the request reaches the partner who holds it.

Subject limits

What stays off the platform

Any figure about this firm: project counts, capital, returns, track record totals.
Any named client, site, lender or transaction.
Investment terms, fund terms, lending terms, or anything that could be read as an offer.
Legal, tax, appraisal or accounting advice, or a regulated opinion of any kind.
Another firm's work presented as this firm's work.

Invite a partner

Send the date, format and subject

Use the media request form and choose a speaking or panel invitation. Sending a request records it for review; it does not hold a date, confirm an appearance, or permit promotional use of a partner’s name.

Nothing on this page confirms availability, accepts an invitation, or authorises recording or promotional use. Every appearance and use is agreed separately in writing.
