Date: TBA
We would be pleased to deliver a seminar on relevant aspects on Native Title and Aboriginal Cultural Heritage law that are of particular interest to clients.
Given the nature of these areas of law, it is important to understand a client’s needs and tailor a seminar to meet them. To do otherwise runs the risk of providing a lot of detailed but irrelevant information; we do not do that. For that reason, we would be pleased to tailor a presentation upon request.
Session Time: 2 hours including questions
