After the success of our visit to the United Arab Emirates last year, we're visiting Abu Dhabi from 15 to 19 September.
Let us know you're interested in joining the delegation as a speaker or an attendee using the form below.
Overseas visits and conferences are open to barristers who subscribe to the Bar Representation Fee.
This year's focus is on family law
Join us for seminars and meetings in Abu Dhabi between 15 to 19 September 2025.
The visit provides an exciting opportunity to address the recent introduction of family laws for expatriates and explore opportunities for the England and Wales family Bar to contribute to Abu Dhabi’s evolving civil court system and alternative dispute resolution.
Attending this programme is a great opportunity to generate international work, network with other professionals, exchange views, and build knowledge and professional links.
Programme and attendance
We're currently working on our programme for the visit to the UAE in September. We'll update this page with our programme and a form for signing up to attend by the end of July.
