Introduction to ADR
Speaker: Richard Farndale, Chairman of the Scottish Branch of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators
6.00pm on 24 April 2019
We’ve been working with the LSS to bring you some more seminars. These will be offered free via remote access, see below. Obviously as they are in an evening I do need to know we have enough people to make it viable to have the library open so I do need an RSVP. We will only be offering access if 6 or more people commit to coming, so please do let me know if you wish to come – and latterly if you need to change your plans.
Just email if you wish to come. There is no cost involved so there will be no refreshments but feel free to bring your own. The library will be open from 5.45 to allow you to come in and get settled before the session starts. It should finish about 7 but we won’t chase you out till 7.30 if you wish to network and discuss the seminar.

The seminar will give an overview of and insight into the family law issues which property, corporate and commercial solicitors should be alert to when advising their clients. What are the implications of incorporation? Should you advise your client to transfer shares in his company to his wife? Should title to the family home be taken in joint names or one party’s sole name? How can you avoid inherited assets being shared on divorce? It is important to consider these questions from a family law perspective.
