Native Title & Cultural Heritage
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
If you would like one or a combination of our seminars at a desired location, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
In addition to the seminars described above, we are able to provide seminars on particular topics upon request.
