We are pleased to invite you to a discussion focusing on the increasingly complex interplay between criminal and family law proceedings.
In many cases, criminal lawyers are required to navigate parallel family law issues.
Getting the strategy right at an early stage can be critical.
This session will bring together specialists from both disciplines to explore how these issues play out in practice, including:
- The crossover between criminal and family proceedings
- Fact-finding and its impact across the two sets of proceedings
- Strategic risks in parallel cases
- How the courts approach coercive control when considering financial and child arrangements issues
Our aim is to support, share insight, and learn from one another. We hope to create a mutual, peer-level discussion environment, bringing together criminal and family practitioners who regularly deal with these overlapping and sometimes conflicting issues simultaneously.
Drinks and canapés will follow the discussion, with an opportunity to continue the conversation informally.
