The laws relating to trustees and their advisers are changing
more quickly now than at any time during the last generation.
Charles Russell's new series of breakfast seminars focuses
on those areas which we think will be particularly relevant
in 2008.
The seminars will take place at our new London St James's
office at breakfast time, allowing you to be back at your
desk by mid-morning.

Trustees & Divorce - This seminar is now full
Trustees and divorce has become an increasingly hot topic
over the last few years due to the number of high profile
so-called 'big money' divorces reaching the courts. Over and
above the media interest these cases have generated, they
also illustrate a number of important issues for professional
advisers to consider with their clients.
During this seminar we will cover:
| • |
The historical approach of the Family Division
to trusts in divorce |
| • |
Key points arising from recent cases |
| • |
Potential effects of divorce on careful
estate planning |
| • |
Issues to consider with your clients |
| • |
Where do we go from here? |

The London Property Market
London is perhaps now the leading financial centre in the
world. This has resulted in a concentration of investment
in London real estate as it has become one of the world's
most coveted addresses. The staggering property price increases
of 2006 and 2007 were well in excess of all expectations.
Are they sustainable? With the City expecting to slow, will
the market fragment?
During this seminar we will cover:
| • |
Our view of the market |
| • |
Key factors that affect the market |
| • |
Potential opportunities |
| • |
Common pitfalls to avoid |
| • |
Leasehold reform - an investment opportunity |
