Trusts in the Future

BCR Law Managing Partner David Benest recently presented at the second international contentious trusts conference hosted by Boodle Hatfield, Charles Russell Speechlys, Clifford Chance, Forsters, Stephenson Harwood and Taylor Wessing.

The conference took place on 13 and 14 May in Barcelona, and brought together solicitors, barristers, offshore lawyers and trust practitioners working in the ever changing world of contentious trusts.

The programme this year focused on future proofing trusts, issues surrounding trusts in modern society (including the dynamics of the modern family unit and developing technology) and increasing judicial interference with trusts.
