SUMMARY:The Richard Williams Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this year’s Richard Williams Memorial Lecture\, an insightful professional development session focused on an area often overlooked by practitioners – planning for your own future. \nThis CPD event will explore the importance of succession planning\, estate planning\, asset protection\, wealth management and superannuation considerations for legal professionals\, providing practical guidance for solicitors at every stage of their career. \nWhile we spend our professional lives advising clients to plan ahead\, this session turns the focus back on practitioners and the steps we should be taking to protect our own futures. \nWe are pleased to welcome back Bryan Mitchell\, highly regarded wills and estates lawyer\, Principal of Mitchell Solicitors and a Queensland Law Society Accredited Specialist in Succession Law\, who will present on succession planning for solicitors\, including key considerations when planning for the future of your practice and estate. \nRepresentatives from Hartmann Financial Planning will then share practical insights into superannuation and financial planning for legal professionals\, focusing on strategies to build and protect long-term financial security. \nThis is an important and practical session for practitioners looking to take a proactive approach to securing their personal and professional future. \nAn essential CPD event for solicitors who spend their careers planning for others and should be planning for themselves too.

SUMMARY:AML/CTF CPD
DESCRIPTION:So you know you’re caught by the new AML laws but you don’t know where to start. Or maybe you’re still not sure if you are caught. If you fall into one of these categories this presentation is for you. Brendan Leighton is local solicitor who just happens to be on the QLS Business Advisory Panel\, specifically to help legal practitioners with AML compliance. \nThe session will provide some practical tips on preparing your AML policies and procedures. It will also examine some of the AML outsourcing services currently on offer and different pricing models. \nThe AUSTRAC ‘starter kit’ is quite complex and has created some confusion for practitioners.  The session will provide you with practical guidance on finalising your AML policies and procedures. \nAML compliance is not something that can be fully delegated to your practice manager or outsourced to third party suppliers. Your AML policies and procedures must reflect the nature and scope of your operations. If these policies and procedures are incorrectly set\, you will fail your external independent review\, resulting in an adverse report being filed with AUSTRAC. \nBy the end of this one hour session you will have clarity on what you need to do to be fully compliant by 1 July. Principal solicitors are encouraged to attend with their practice managers.

SUMMARY:Richard Williams Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Date:          Wednesday\, 27 August 2025 \nTime:          5.30pm \nWhere:      Maroochy Surf Club \nSpeaker:   Robert Whiteford\nRobert Whiteford was admitted to the Bar in 1979 and spent the greater part of his distinguished career practising in succession law and equity. Following his retirement from advocacy in 2024\, he continues to contribute to the profession through his work as a mediator. \nIn this presentation\, Robert will explore two key topics: \n\nComments on Commission – a discussion of executors’ and trustees’ commission claims\, including practical and procedural considerations; and\nThe Tolerated Territory of Trusts – a reflection on whether trust deeds can validly extend trustee powers beyond those permitted under the Trusts Act\, even where the Act asserts its provisions operate despite contrary terms in the deed.\n\nWith his depth of experience and dry wit\, Robert brings thoughtful insight to these complex and often contentious areas of trust law. \n“Members: Please log in to receive your discounted ticket prices.
