Certificate in Court of Protection Practice - Live Online with Caroline Bielanska

Introduction

Increasing numbers of applications are made to the Court of Protection, yet many practitioners find themselves quickly out of their depth as they attempt to navigate the complexity of the Court Rules and Practice Directions.

This new virtual classroom seminar includes sample precedents, court forms and case law update, meaning you will leave with the skills to tackle a wide range of Court of Protection applications with confidence.

It is suitable for newly qualified solicitors, those returning after a career break or private client lawyers who need to offer a service to clients in order to meet the demand for Court of Protection applications.
