SPRING CPD

A trio of exceptional events

Our programme will open with Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Shona Robison MSP, and OSCR Chair, Marieke Dwarshuis, providing their insight on parliamentary progress with the new Scottish Charities Bill at the Charities Conference on 16 March, chaired by Gavin McEwan WS.

A Writer to the Signet for over 30 years (and now with his portrait on display at the Signet Library) Commercial Court Judge, the Hon Lord Braid, will give the keynote address at the Intellectual Property Conference on 27 April. With speakers from across the UK commenting on topics from media law to ChatGPT, this conference will be an engaging morning for both contentious and non-contentious IP lawyers.

On 4 May, Sheriff Fife will open the Personal Injury Law Conference with his views on ASPIC, as chair of the Personal Injury User Group. Sheriff Fife will be joined by key practitioners and a leading medical expert to explore the latest developments in PI litigation in the Scottish courts.
