Event Focus

What should practitioners do when faced with this issue? How far should you delve?

This session will explore real-life case examples and evidence of Deprivations of Liberty and the harm and fallout from that. Speakers will highlight the “warning bells” and signs to look out for as best-practice; especially pertinent now as the financial strains and hardship sustained by relatives and others as a result of COVID-19 emerge, coupled with global economic downturn.

Attendees will be equipped with:

  • best-practice guidelines and signposting to appropriate jurisdictional agencies in order to safeguard clients and to protect oneself from liability;
  • reference and awareness-raising of the latest products to the insurance market which seek to cover Attorneys under a specialist insurance bond;
  • an awareness of enhanced risks in this area post-COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant significant worldwide financial downturn in most jurisdictions;
  • cognisance to the necessary and urgent revisions and heightened awareness of the refinements that need to be made to ensure continued best-practice in these areas in the best interests of both clients and professional practice.
