Arnot Manderson Advocates are delighted to announce the next instalment in their series of quarterly seminars – The Four Seasons. These “Winter” editions of the series are dedicated to Family Law and will have an international angle. The event will be chaired by the Head of the Arnot Manderson Family Law Group, Kate Dowdalls QC.

The Seminars will qualify for 2 hours of CPD. These events are free but places are limited.

The high level of interest in previous Four Seasons editions has seen the events sell out quickly. We again anticipate high demand so to ensure your attendance you are required to book a place on our AM Events Booking system which can be found by clicking on the “Book Now” button in the top right of this page.
