Watch the first in our series of 2025 conferences on family law matters. Our expert speakers will bring you up to date with current developments and specialised practice points on a variety of topics dealing with financial provisions upon separation and divorce.

From case law updates and consideration of future legislation that can be entering this field to the division and provision of assets and cross-border considerations of divorce and dissolution, this conference has something for everyone. A breakout session on each day promises the opportunity to focus in on a particular niche of financial provisions, offering a variety of subjects so that you can learn about areas that you are not already well practiced in. Topics also stray outside black-letter law to consider important social aspects to this area of law such as how to spot and respond to economic abuse, alternative options for disputes beyond the court room, and the role that legal technology can have in your firm. With information for the newly qualified and the well-seasoned solicitor this conference will provide you with the current information you need to provide top quality advice to your clients no matter their situation.

By watching this conference you will:

  • Gain insight into the legal cases and legislation that has updated the law around divorce and cohabitation for the past year
  • Learn about reforms being proposed by the Scottish Government for cohabitating couples
  • Expand your knowledge of aliment, asset division, pre- and post-nuptual agreement, cohabitation agreements and more
  • Compare and contrast the Scottish and English laws surrounding divorce and cohabitation
  • Have the opportunity to deep dive into non-legal but important considerations in this field such as responding to economic abuse, incorporating alternative dispute resolution and incorporating new technologies into the field
