ONLINE COURSE: Getting Nuptial Agreements Right: Practical Guidance for Family Practitioners
Course outline
This practical online course provides a clear and comprehensive look at pre‑ and post‑nuptial agreements, with a particular focus on protecting family wealth and navigating matters involving international elements.
.
We will explore when nuptial agreements are appropriate, the key factors to consider, and how to manage client expectations and risk. The session will also examine how advice, process and drafting may differ for clients with complex asset structures or cross‑border considerations, and the professional issues that arise where there is family involvement, sensitivity or heightened risk.

The course will cover the current legal position and best practice, including jurisdictional challenges, international assets and connections, enforceability, and recent developments in this fast‑moving area. The speakers will also provide practical, experience‑based drafting tips.
.
Designed for family lawyers at all levels, this session will equip you with a strong grasp of the law and the practicalities of preparing robust nuptial agreements while mitigating risk. The discussion‑led format is grounded in real‑world scenarios and will offer clear, applicable guidance for day‑to‑day practice. Questions are encouraged.
