Course description
Adoptions in England & Wales, the relevant legislation, regulations and procedures are complex enough but what of adoptions that have taken place overseas? Advising clients who wish to bring back a child adopted overseas to the UK can be a minefield and like many other family cases, such matters often involve high levels of stress on both the client and the lawyer. Stakes and expectations are high and there are often many loose ends to tie up.
Presented by expert barrister Sarah Pinder, this webinar will provide you with in-depth knowledge of the issues that often arise in inter-country adoptions in order to advise clients both pre- and post-adoptions.
