Child Arrangements Orders (‘CAOs’) are the cornerstone of the private law children proceedings.

The orders detail the arrangements for children that are ordered by the court or agreed by the parties. They can include contact directions and conditions and detail arrangements both now and in the future.

This virtual classroom seminar will help you draft CAOs and equip you with a range of useful hints and tips. The live session will also explore some common issues and help you avoid these potential pitfalls.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive session will cover the following:

• Overview of CAOs and their legal foundations
• The Court’s duty when considering CAOs
• Likely concerns of the court
• Basic drafting principles
• Practical hints and tips
• Planning ahead for potential enforcement issues
• The ‘standard order’ precedents and recent updates

Recording of live sessions: Soon after the Learn Live session has taken place you will be able to go back and access the recording - should you wish to revisit the material discussed.

Against the backdrop of corporates’ growing temptation to spotlight their ‘green’ credentials, during this webinar, our panelists will survey explore the latest trends in connection with greenwashing risk across key markets: EU, France, Germany, the UK and the US. 

Our panellists will take the audience through (1) recent litigation and enforcement trends before domestic courts and self-regulatory authorities and (2) the evolving regional and national laws, as well as voluntary guidance in this space. 

Our experts will share key takeaways for each jurisdiction on how companies can mitigate greenwashing risk, while responsibly and accurately reflecting their sustainability progress.
