In 2019, ADC will continue its thought leadership with an emphasis on exchanging insights, trends and innovation in dispute resolution.
ADC has prepared a series of high-level seminars, guest speakers and exciting events throughout the year to keep you informed on current thinking and developments. We are honoured to have The Hon. Justice Robert McClelland speaking at our first event of the new year on the14th of February. I encourage all those involved in Family Law to register early for this important address by the Deputy Chief Justice.it is being held in Sydney and simulcast in Canberra.
Throughout 2019, the ADC Bulletin will continue to keep you up to date with ADC’s activities and provide you with insights and trends in dispute resolution from experienced practitioners and leaders in the field.
Thank you for your on-going support. The team at the ADC is looking forward to another great year of advancing ADR.
