Glasgow
The Care, Vulnerable Adult and Injured Person Workshop
August 31st
1:30 - 5:30pm
Speakers: Sandra McDonald, Alison Hempsey, Peter Murrin, Emma Horne, Alan Eccles
Including hearing from Sandra McDonald, the Public Guardian, the event will look at some key current developments and thoughts in the law affecting care, the management of the affairs of vulnerable adults and personal injury trusts. These can be areas of risk for practitioners due to the legal issues, developments in case law, legislation and regulation, complex tax considerations, family dynamics and the large sums involved.
The session will bring together experience and expertise across a range of distinct yet often interlocking topics which private client advisers, personal injury litigators, in-house lawyers at charities and local authorities and others need to have an awareness of. It also covers subjects which are in the public consciousness and there will be expectations that lawyers are up-to-speed on the key issues and developments.
Delegates will come away from the session with a strong grounding in recent developments and the legal and professional matters they must be alive to.

Alan's private client work covers estate planning including wills, executries, trusts and inheritance tax. He is the author of the Scotland chapter in the textbook International Succession.
