Family lawyers constantly deal with matters outside of the family law arena.   In this nutshell, 5 practitioners will talk about the following 5 issues you need to identify and understand as a family lawyer:

  • Pensions:  The hot buttons of the not-so-new pension
  • Personal Injury:  What you want (disclosure) and what you may not want (exclusions)

David Wolgelerenter:

  • Pension dilemmas and the not-so new rules.
  • What to advise clients recognizing their particular circumstances.
  • Examples will be provided on how to deal with specific pension issues since each case is different.

Sharon Ramsden:

  • Explanation of personal injury law as it applies to the family law context
