This free webinar, led by Elizabeth Stokes and Rosie Harding, will provide a clear and practical overview of the current legal requirements and best practice.

What the session will cover:

• What evidence the Court expects– including required documentation, professional input and drafting tips.
• The role and responsibilities of a proposed Rule 1.2 Representative– ensuring compliance and avoiding common pitfalls.
