Murrayfield Stadium is the venue for the next event in our Scots Law Conference Series, exclusively available to delegates in person on the day.
Chaired by Marika Franceschi of Franceschi Family Law and covering topics from the departure from equal sharing, choosing the 'right' jurisdiction and relocation to the overlap with employment law, 'grey divorce' and handling difficult clients, our new Family Conference will include presentations from Marisa Cullen of Family Law Matters, Marianne McJannett from Aberdein Considine, Taina Moran & Debbie Hair of Evelyn Partners, Jennifer Rae from Turcan Connell and Andy Currie of Think Distinct.
What's being covered?
Intra-UK child law – hints and tips for dealing with parental relocation/abduction of a child across the Scottish border but within the UK
Many parents wish to relocate their children from Scotland to other parts of the UK, some wish to do so lawfully, others go ahead without the other parent or court’s consent. In this session Marisa will briefly explore the law and recent case law in this area as well as providing practical tips from her own experience of navigating such cases.
Marisa Cullen, Family Law Matters
Departure from equal sharing
Are there any trends emerging in respect of the departure from equal sharing or is it as difficult to predict as ever? This session will attempt to answer both these questions.

Till business do us part: employment law issues in divorce
As with personal relationships, business relationships often start off on a very positive note. This is especially the case when a spouse is brought into a business as an employee. In this presentation, we will consider the employment law implications of having spouses, partners and children as part of a business, and what steps need to be taken to bring the employment relationship to an end, if the personal relationship has broken down.
Marianne McJannett, Aberdein Considine
Managing difficult clients
Happy clients are the lifeblood of our work but not every client feels easy to work with. Sometimes they ask for things we can’t deliver, push back on our advice, or the relationship just doesn’t click. So, how do we turn a difficult client into a satisfied one? Join this interactive, tip-packed, practical session to learn real strategies for handling challenging client behaviours, setting boundaries, and building trust. You'll leave with tools to help your clients feel happier and you feeling more confident in managing even the trickiest situations.

From separation to success: financial strategies for your new chapter
More couples are separating at a later stage in life when financial and retirement factors can greatly complicate arrangements. In this timely session we will: consider how best to gain clarity on what’s involved and how it impacts your client’s financial position; look at where cashflow analysis benefits can support negotiations and help secure your client’s financial future through detailed projections; and provide guidance on investing and achieving tax efficiency after separation.
