We are delighted to announce our inaugural Fraud, Trusts and Asset Recovery Conference will take place on Monday 8th November 2021. The event will feature a number of topical talks and discussions from members of the Wilberforce Trusts, Fraud and Insolvency teams. It will take place from 1pm until 5.15pm, and will be followed by a drinks reception.
The Courthouse Hotel Shoreditch is the perfect location for us to host the conference. As the former Old Street Magistrates Court and Police Station, the listed building held some high-profile cases such as the Kray Twins, and the police station held Eric Arthur Blair, better known as George Orwell.
If you are unable to attend in-person, please email us to discuss joining virtually (£40 + VAT).
If you would like to join us, please email us via seminars@wilberforce.co.uk.
