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.
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.

Third-party litigation funding: protecting consumers
13 August 2026| YouTubeSpeakers: Aileen Armstrong, Executive Director of Strategy and Policy (Chair), Harriet Gamper, Director of Consumer Policy and Engagement
Join us to hear more about our new proposals to strengthen requirements for solicitors using or arranging third-party litigation funding for consumer claims.
What are we proposing
We are proposing to strengthen requirements for solicitors using or arranging third-party litigation funding in consumer claims.
We recognise that litigation funding can play an important role in increasing access to justice. But our evidence shows that some arrangements can create risks to firm stability and lead to poor outcomes for consumers.
We are consulting on targeted and proportionate new requirements for law firms, including:
- notifying the SRA when they use or arrange third-party litigation funding
- producing and retaining a third-party litigation funding risk assessment
- providing clients with summary documents before they sign a third-party funding agreement.
Read the consultation which closes on 17 September.
