Twilight Seminar/Webinar
Ten Tips for Maximising Mediation
Thursday, 4 April 2024
The Family Law Practitioners Association of Queensland invites you to join us for our next Twilight Seminar presented by the Honourable Michael Kent KC.
Michael was admitted as a solicitor in 1983, was called to the Bar in 1991 and took silk in 2007. At the Bar, Michael developed an extensive practice primarily in common law, insurance, professional negligence, estate litigation, company law and family law at both trial level and on appeal. A significant component of his practice was as a mediator in all areas of civil disputes.
In 2011 Michael was appointed as a Justice of the Family Court of Australia, and assigned to the Appeal Division in 2015. He served on the Appeal Division until resigning his judicial commissions in 2021.
Michael returned to the Bar in 2021 to resume practice in Alternative Dispute Resolution, and has chambers in both Brisbane and Sydney.
Michael is a highly experienced and accomplished mediator who will speak to FLPA members at this seminar about the dos and don’ts of mediation, including how to best prepare, different approaches to consider when making offers and the typical pitfalls of which all practitioners should be mindful.
We look forward to seeing you there.
