LegalVision - A Handshake Is Not Harmless: The Hidden Costs of Verbal Agreements - VIRTUAL
2026-07-22 10:30 - 11:15 | Online
Verbal agreements happen all the time in business, but they’re hard to prove if things go wrong – and that can leave you exposed when a dispute arises.
Without a written record, you may struggle to show what was actually agreed, which can lead to expensive legal battles with no clear outcome.

To help you understand the risks of verbal agreements and protect your business if a dispute arises, LegalVision is hosting a free webinar on A Handshake Is Not Harmless: The Hidden Costs of Verbal Agreements.
Join us on Wednesday, 22 July, when Dimi Tong (Senior Lawyer) will discuss:

what counts as a handshake deal and when it may still create legal obligations;
how verbal agreements create risks that can be avoided;
how to prove the terms of an agreement when there is no signed contract;
the challenges of providing evidence for verbal agreements that end up in litigation;
what solutions are possible if a party does not honour the agreement; and
practical steps to strengthen your records, reduce uncertainty and protect your position before a dispute arises.

About Dimi Tong

Dimi is a Senior Lawyer in LegalVision’s Disputes & Litigation team with a background in commercial and corporate law, dispute resolution and property law. She has experience across various roles, including in-house counsel and company secretariat.

Know which Instagram metrics actually predict sales, and which vanity metrics to finally stop tracking.

What you’ll leave with:

A concrete Instagram growth strategy.
A 30-day Instagram launch worksheet to implement immediately, even starting from zero followers.

Who it’s for:
This session is for small business owners who are either starting an Instagram account from scratch or have built a following that isn’t yet turning into sales. If you’ve been posting without much to show for it, or you’re not sure how the pieces fit together, this is a practical place to start.

Your trade marks, copyright, and other IP are among your most valuable business assets. As AI changes how content is created and protected, understanding your rights and how to defend them is more important than ever.
To help you understand how AI is changing IP law and what you need to do to stay safeguarded, LegalVision is hosting a free webinar on Protecting Your Most Valuable Asset: IP Risk in the Age of AI.
Join us on Tuesday, 11 August, when Charlotte Hale (Practice Leader) will discuss:

how to protect your IP; and
a real-world case study.
