Testimonials
This was the best conference I have attended in years, both in terms of the speakers and the content and in terms of the organisation via Zoom which was all smooth and technically seemless. I would be happy to attend a version of this every year.
Informative, relevant and well communicated.
Another quality conference from the Law Society with relevant and insightful presentations on all matters relevant in family law post pandemic.
An engaging and insightful roundup on all the law regarding financial provision on divorce.
Very well organised event which ran smoothly over two mornings also allowing for participants to be able to keep up with office work and still attend an event which they otherwise might not have been able to do had this been a face-to-face event.
The Family Law Conference 2021 (26th and 27th January) was first class. The online format was dealt with very smoothly and made it very easy to attend despite distractions at home! the speakers were of excellent quality and I felt their presentations were detailed and provided the answers that practitioners need on each of the various topics, rather than just talking in the round or at high level (which can sometimes be an issue at conferences) … Thank you - this is exactly what I needed!
This was a very timely conference and packed with a good blend of both practical and substantive legal matters.
Excellent conference. Clear and very informative.
