The post Coronavirus landscape – how the built environment sector can best prepare for both the likely challenges as well as the possible opportunities.

Coronavirus will have profound implications for the future of the built environment. Many businesses have been forced to quickly remobilise, or close, and they’re now planning their post-lockdown strategy.

This webinar, brought to you by our webinar partner DLA Piper, will explore the effects of coronavirus from a sector perspective and how those working in it can handle the challenges and take advantage of the possible opportunities.

Alongside the Webinar Partner DLA Piper we’ll be joined by several expert speakers from a variety of background and sectors.
