Family at Scots Law 2026

We are delighted to be returning to the Hilton Glasgow* for the first in our Scots Law 2026 Conference Series, exclusively available to delegates in person on the day.

Our new conference, chaired by Alison Edmondson of SKO Family Law, will take an in depth look at the most important legal developments from civil protection orders for domestic abuse and immigration issues for family lawyers to how to make better use of existing legislative provisions to serve clients who have an Islamic marriage and contempt of court in the context of s11 orders.

Alison will be joined by a panel of experts including Professor Gillian Black of the Scottish Law Commission, Khalda Wali from LKW Solicitors, Zaynab Al Nasser of Family Law Matters, Sandra Terras from Carlisle & Collins, Vincent Chung of Burness Paull and Mairead Corrigan from SKO Family.
