Thank you so much to the wonderful Victoria Butler-Cole KC for her presentation on 'Charlie Gard and Beyond' on Friday 10th May. This was a brilliant insight into how the current legal framework for children's medical cases is perhaps in need of radical change.

It was a pleasure to host former Supreme Court Justice, Lord Nicholas Wilson today. A truly eye-opening venture into the often equal parts hilarious and heart-breaking world of the Family Courts.
