Tips to avoid the fate of failed construction giant Carillion will be shared at a series of seminars hosted by an East Anglian law firm.

Solicitors Birketts will organise the sessions across the region with Ross Welham of accountancy firm Price Bailey as the guest speaker.

The seminars will look in detail at the types of problem that Carillion faced and the best ways to avoid them, as well as current trends in the industry.

Mr Welham will also give an expert view on insolvency in the construction industry.

Each of the free breakfast events will start at 7.45am and end at 9.30am.

The first will be held at Birketts' Norwich office on Tuesday, April 17 with the second at the Moller Centre in Cambridge on April 19. The seminars will then head to Ipswich's Trinity Park Conference Centre on April 24 before the final one is held at Chelmsford City Racecourse on April 25.
