Seminar topics

Planning for success

All legal practitioners are at risk of professional negligence claims, particularly if they haven’t got the right systems in place. This session will help practitioners in all areas of work to identify common and high-risk situations. It will provide practical ways to avoid and manage those risks for a safer, claims-free practice.

Solicitors' certificates - are you being heard?

The requests for solicitors’ certificates are increasing both in number and variety. Irrespective of whether the certificate is being sought by “walk-in” or long-standing clients, practitioners need to be extremely diligent in their review of the relevant documents, the advice provided to the clients and their own file management.   This may be difficult given time and costing limitations, not to mention the pressure from clients to “simply sign off” on what they may view as just another administrative loan document.

In this session, our presenter, will highlight some of the common – and serious – errors made by practitioners as well as provide useful tips on how to minimise risk exposure.

Conveyancing tax issues

Tax issues arise in many files especially conveyancing. This session considers the most common taxes which practitioners come across in conveyancing matters including GST, CGT, land tax and duty. Details will be provided of where practitioners go wrong together with tips on how to avoid claims about taxes. A couple of exercises will also be included to demonstrate the root causes of claims.
