Courts across various jurisdictions at different times have opined on the duties of a trustee, but legal principles rarely provide much practical guidance on the issues that trustees face day-to-day. How to act in line with a fiduciary duty requires increasing consideration as the issues facing trustees, their beneficiaries and their assets becoming increasing complex. Global movement, aging populations, volatile economies and families, and regulatory increase are just some of the challenges increasing the pressures for fiduciaries.
This conference will bring together varied areas of expertise from our Private Capital and Trusts and Insolvency & Dispute Resolution practices, including fiduciary regulation, covering these challenges. This will help you navigate difficulties by understanding the current thinking of the courts whilst also providing practical solutions to everyday issues, so you can avoid any potholes and get the best results possible from those pressures.
Our keynote speaker, Thomas Dumont KC is one of the most in-demand barristers for private client matters, both non-contentious & contentious, with a wealth of experience of trusts and succession.
