Advocate Corbett is attending the Commonwealth Law Conference 2025 in Malta and will be speaking at an event held to coincide with the gathering of international family lawyers.
The conference is taking place at the Hilton Portomaso, St Julian’s, Malta. It is 15 minutes from the ancient capital city of Valletta and overlooks the vibrant Portomaso Marina. The CLC says "Malta will play host to legal practitioners from all over the world to debate current issues in the profession, exchange best practice and share experiences with colleagues. The dramatic scenery, thrilling history and evocative atmosphere will provide the backdrop to our biennial conference taking place from 6th-10th April 2025."
The Family Law Symposium will be held in the wings of the Commonwealth Law Conference 2025. It is co-hosted by the Commonwealth Lawyers Association (CLA) Family Law Committee, IAFL and the FLBA on the theme: “Show me the Money” – Family Law, Trusts and Recognition and Enforcement.
They state on their website:
"In our increasingly global world family relationships span jurisdictions: family trusts are set up in one state, when the parties live elsewhere; couples enter in to pre-nups in one place, and then move to another, and they divorce in a jurisdiction that is different from the place where their assets are held. What do we, as divorce, property, trust and private client practitioners do in these situations, or rather, what should we be doing.
Hosted by the Family Law Committee of the CLA, the International Academy of Family Lawyers and the Family Law Bar Association of England and Wales this symposium will bring together civil litigators and practitioners specialising in asset recovery and enforcement and family lawyers to explore the knotty issues that exist for globally mobile clients with complicated financial lives that span the world. There will be a particular focus on jurisdictions where offshore trust structures are regularly employed.
From planning, and consideration of the jurisdiction issues that exist in family law matters, to the issues that arise when it comes to recognition of agreements and court orders, through to asset recovery, enforcement and the impact of sanctions, this will be a symposium that will focus on the practical issues that arise for family lawyers who find themselves dealing with civil litigators in other jurisdictions, and for civil litigators who find themselves instructed by family lawyers!"
