Events and speakers
We organise and take part in a wide range of events and conferences. Come and meet us to find out about what we're doing.
To view recordings of past events, see our listing of on-demand events.
If you would like to invite an SRA speaker to your event, please submit a request using our speaker request form.
Please do not contact individual members of our staff directly to ask them to speak at your event.
We aim to reply to requests within three weeks. In order for us to consider your request, you need to submit it at least six to eight weeks before your event is scheduled to take place.
We take the following into account when reviewing speaker requests:
- how topical the event is to SRA work and priorities
- availability of appropriate speakers
- size and suitability of the audience.
We will assess all requests on a case-by-case basis. However, we are unlikely to accept invitations if we believe that one of the main purposes of the event is:
- to promote the wider work or services of a specific commercial organisation or potential supplier to businesses operating in the legal sector
- to generate new business or other revenue-creating opportunities beyond attendance at the event itself for the host/organiser/third parties.
Upcoming events and conferences that we'll be taking part in are listed here. To book a place or find out more about non-SRA events, please contact the organisers directly.

High-volume consumer claims: join the discussion
2 October 2025| YouTubeSpeakers: Aileen Armstrong, Executive Director - Strategy, Innovation and External Affairs, SRA (Chair), Harriet Gamper, Director of Consumer Policy and Engagement, SRA
When they work well, high-volume consumer claims (HVCCs) can provide vital access to justice, particularly for those who might otherwise struggle to obtain legal support. However, we are concerned that this market is not working as well as it should, with widespread issues that may be causing harm to consumers.
To explore this further, we have published a discussion paper seeking feedback and insights on our concerns, which are summarised in these five key challenges:
- improving transparency and clarity for consumers about their claim, including if the term ‘no win, no fee’ should be banned?
- managing risks around third-party litigation funding
- making sure After the Event (ATE) insurance meets consumers’ needs
- making sure our regulation keeps pace with a changing market
- delivering wider improvements across the system for consumers in high-volume claims processes.
Join us as we run through the challenges and questions raised by our discussion paper, as well as details of our planned engagement.
To make this as relevant as possible, you can submit questions in advance by completing the question text box when you register.
We look forward to you joining us and hearing your views. We will send you a link to view the webinar a few days before broadcast.
