ANCILLIARIES AND TRUSTS OF LAND

Three members of our family team, Andrea Markham, Lukhvinder Kaur and Sarah Kilvington, gave a seminar on 1 June. They covered Enforcement and Financial Provision, Variation of Ancilliary Relief Orders and Tackling Tricky Trusts Issues. The conference was a great success and certainly, it would appear from the questionnaire responses, that the seminar was very well received.

COSTS - THE PAYING PARTY’S PERSPECTIVE

Margaret McDonald is a member of our Civil Team and Head of our Costs Team. Her costs knowledge is particularly relevant is summary assessment deliberations post trial and is valued by instructing solicitors throughout her practice.

She was asked to speak at the Costs Conference at Liverpool Law Society from the defendants perspective. As such Margaret covered the pitfalls for the unwary solicitor and the horrors of mis-certification.

The conference was a great success and certainly, it would appear from the questionnaire responses, that Margaret’s speech was very well received.

Margaret McDonald spoke again on the same subject for Compass Costs Consultants in London on 21 May 2009. If you would like to read a full transcript, please click on the link below.
