Attendees will include intermediaries, solicitors, barristers, advocates, and academics, all engaged in the justice field. 

A distinguished lineup of speakers will feature insights from leaders such as Professor Helen Stalford, noted for her expertise in children’s rights, and Nicole Ralston, a Family Law specialist with MSB Solicitors. Caron Heyes, a Solicitor and Director at Fieldfisher LLP, and Irina Sanders, the Founder and Chair of the Association of Interpreters and Translators, will also contribute to discussions crammed with legal and practical relevance. Additionally, Professor Keith Rix and Nicola Lewis, a founding member of TIC, will be part of the esteemed speaking roster. Notably, the ADHD Foundation will provide a speaker as well. Dr David Baker, from the University of Liverpool, will take on the role of conference host.
