FreeThe UK State Aid Law Association (UKSALA) invites you to their first event in Belfast, hosted by Pinsent Masons LLP. This half day seminar will take place on the afternoon of Wednesday 17 June 2015.
In a year when State aid issues have rarely been out of the headlines, the seminar will provide a crucial overview of some of the most pressing recent developments and forthcoming changes to the law. As well as providing an introduction to State aid, the programme will focus on the intersection of State aid and tax, infrastructure projects and procurement. The seminar is open to all with an interest in State aid issues and for all levels of knowledge and experience.
