ATLANTIC Chambers today announced the launch of their Financial Provision team.

The team, specialists in cases which raise financial issues arising from relationship breakdown, are launching the new service at the Family Law Group Finance Conference on Friday October 2.

The half day Conference at the Hard Day's Night Hotel will include talks from the Atlantic team on The Effect of POCA on Ancillary Relief, Financial Agreements following MacLeod and Radmacher, and Current Developments in Ancillary Relief.

Malcolm Sharpe, head of Atlantic Chambers' Family Group said: "The seminar is to launch the Atlantic Chambers Financial Provision Team who will provide a comprehensive service for solicitors specialising in cases which raise financial issues arising from relationship breakdown.

"Ranging from traditional matrimonial breakdown and Ancillary Relief through cohabitation issues concerning unmarried couples, same sex partnerships and dependent children of unmarried parents, the Financial Provision Team is able to provide the broad spectrum of services which cross the borders between civil litigation, Chancery work and family disputes.

"They will also deal with all issues arising from inheritance disputes, bankruptcy and tax problems.

"With experienced and specialist Counsel drawn from the established Practice Groups flourishing in Atlantic Chambers, this new development promises to provide an effective One Stop Shop for solicitors."

The Seminar is worth three CPD points. Lunch and refreshments will be served from 1.30pm.

Attendance at the Seminar will be limited and those who wish to receive further details should contact Allan Weston on 0151242 0208 or email allan@atlanticchambers.co.uk
