Legal Experts to Unpack Water Sector Reform Following Independent Water Commission’s Final Report

15 October 2025 | 12:00 – 13:00 | Zoom

Join leading legal minds Dr Michael Bowes (Barrister), Clive Mottram, Weightmans (Legal 500 Hall of Fame), and Nick Barker , Weightmans (Principal Associate) for a timely and insightful discussion on the future of the UK water sector, following the release of the Independent Water Commission’s Final Report.

The Commission’s report sets out an ambitious blueprint for reform, calling for fundamental changes across all aspects of the sector—from strategic direction and planning to legislation, regulatory oversight, company ownership, governance, and infrastructure investment.

Having swapped summer holiday reading for Sir John Cunliffe’s comprehensive review, our panel has now had time to digest its findings. This session will explore:

• Key recommendations from the report
• Legal and regulatory implications
• Challenges in translating political will into effective change
• Areas to watch as reform efforts unfold

This event offers a unique opportunity to hear from experts at the forefront of water law and regulation as they reflect on what lies ahead for stakeholders across the sector.
