Field Court Chambers is delighted to invite you to our Financial Remedies Seminar looking at Needs and Bankruptcy.
This seminar will qualify for 2 hours of CPD and will be of particular interest to solicitors whose practice involves Financial Remedy work either as a discrete specialism or as part of a mixed practice. The seminar concentrates on topical, but not entirely straightforward, areas with which all such practitioners need to be familiar.
