The Armidale CLE Conference, now in its 65th year, is designed so that NSW practitioners can fulfil their requirement for the current CPD year.  There are 10 sessions designed to deliver 7 substantive law units and 3 compulsory subject units.  In addition, the ethics session will also satisfy the Lawcover maintenance requirements.

Our key speakers for this event cover some of the most important topics. 

1. Nathan Yii, Principal Lawyer, Chartered Tax Advisor and SMSF Specialist Advisor from Nathan Yii Lawyers, Melbourne will bring his interesting topic - The Loan Ranger: Protecting the Bank of Mum and Dad!

He will do this by reviewing some recent cases to add to the learning.
