We are delighted to bring you a brand new and unique interdisciplinary event for the next generation of contentious trusts practitioners as well as for all other practitioners where trusts can be involved.

Building on our track record of catering specific events for the next generation of legal practitioners we are delighted to bring together our next gen initiatives from across 4 of our communities at one event. Unlike anything else in the market, we will bring together key practitioners from across these 4 practice areas, covering the breadth of trusts in disputes:

Private Client - Contentious

FIRE - Fraud, Insolvency,
[Asset] Recovery & Enforcement

HNW Divorce - High Net Worth
Divorce Litigation

Commercial Disputes - Commercial Litigation, International Arbitration & Mediation

1. 10 Ways to Better Understand your Client

2. Understanding Effective Methods of Attacking and Defending Trusts During Divorce Proceedings

3. Enforcement and Recognition of Judgments in a Trust

4. Ensuring Resiience Against Fraud and Insolvency

5. The Pitfalls of Trust Drafting

6. Exploring How Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements can Mitigate Divorce Impacts of Structures

What to Expect?

Trust Companies will be front and centre of this event, with a focus on the day-to-day practicalities of trusts in distress.

Attend to gain a new perspective and expand your network within and beyond the contentious trusts space.
