The Family Law Forum Conference 2027

After the success of our inaugural Family Law Conference in February 2026, we're pleased to announce we're returning in 2027.

Next year's conference, What Really Matters Now in Family Law, brings together the judiciary, senior counsel, clinical experts and practitioners for a full day of practical sessions on the issues shaping family law today. The program is built around what you actually need to know: how to advise clients well and represent them effectively, in court and out of it.
