Building and fire safety in Scotland: The legal essentials

Join us on 19th November 2026 at Addleshaw Goddard, 24 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, for an essential legal round-up of building and safety law in Scotland.

Hosted by Addleshaw Goddard's Construction team in Scotland, this session will spotlight recent critical legal developments and prepare you for what is coming next.

While England's Building Safety Act continues to grab headlines, we will look at the modular Scottish approach including:

• Building Regulations - what's next after the fire safety review consultation
• Cladding Remediation - whether the new regime is making a difference
• Building Safety levy - a deep dive now that we know indicative rates
• Awaab's Law - what all landlords need to do to ensure compliance
• Fire engineer regulation - how this will impact live projects and claims
• Defects and claims - what to do when things go wrong with building and fire safety on live and completed projects, with discussion on what you need to know about the abolition of retention and a prudent approach to time-bar

The event will combine targeted presentations by speakers including Viv Welsh and Katie MacColl (Addleshaw Goddard) and an interactive Q&A discussion with industry guests.
