Join the Family Law Week - International Children’s Law Summer Conference - on the 8th July 2025 at the Cavendish Conference Centre. This conference will bring together leading experts to explore key issues, developments, and challenges in the field.
Attending an international children’s law conference focused on child abduction cases offers invaluable insights into the legal complexities surrounding international abduction, as well as practical strategies for handling such cases.
