Coram Chambers: Hot topics for family lawyers

Coram Chambers is hosting a series of discussions about topical family law issues, via Zoom

The first one takes place on 7 April at 1pm, and will last one hour. Coram chambers barristers Rachel Cooper and Adrian Barnett-Thoung-Holland will talk about Barder events, contact arrangements and the subject du jour, COVID-19. It will be of interest to family law practitioners or anyone who works in this field. 

 

As Coram is fundraising for the National Emergencies Trust Coronavirus Appeal, it politely requests a £10 donation to attend the talk. Donations can be made via its Just Giving page: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/coram-chambers. Register for the event at https://bit.ly/2UUoME9.
