The events of 2011 in Canterbury have provided an enormous number of challenges for lawyers across the country. Much has been learned and the way practices will operate in the future has changed. The need to embrace the latest technologies and a re-thinking of the physical needs of a practice are the key changes.

Adaptability and flexibility are the hallmarks of operating successfully in the post-earthquake environment. Coupled with the changes in practice operation are the significant number of legislative reforms of the past two years and the pending introduction of Mandatory Continuing Legal Education. These all add up to the need to keep up with your practice and where the law is going.

This comprehensive booklet will provide you with stimulating engagement on topics of importance and interest concerning property law. Areas for discussion include: land subdivisions, commercial leases, property law section protocols, mortgagee and receivers’ sales, emissions trading, leaky homes, tax planning, business structures, trusts, relationship property – and more.
