In a world where the
only constant is change, navigating the aftermath of life-altering events can be a daunting journey—a path filled with uncertainty but also with profound possibilities for growth and transformation.
This is where the annual Deputy Day conference comes in, a space where knowledge is shared, a focus on empowerment, and community for those who stand in the service of safeguarding others' futures.
At its core, Deputy Day
is an initiative driven by
a simple yet powerful mission: to equip deputies, cost lawyers, and financial advisers with the insight, skills, and support needed to thrive in their roles.
This unique conference is designed to illuminate the complexities of financial and legal stewardship in the context of personal injury and clinical negligence. Yet, it’s so much more than a learning event. It's a gathering
that celebrates resilience, fosters innovation, and encourages a collective commitment to doing better, for our clients,
for their families, and for industry.
Deputy Day sets the
stage for an enriching exchange of knowledge and experiences, featuring an array of workshops led by pioneers in various fields such as Costs, Investments, Tax, and Welfare Benefits. This initiative underscores our dedication to not only addressing the tactical aspects of our roles but also to nurturing our growth as individuals
who serve.
DEPUTY DAY2025
Guardians of the Vulnerable
This year, we delve deep into the essence of what it truly means to be a "Guardian of the Vulnerable." It’s a theme born
from the understanding that deputies
do far more than manage finances and legal affairs. They carry the weight of hope, fostering a world where dignity, independence, and the right to a fulfilling life are within reach for those they serve.
Our intent, deeply rooted in our core values of resilience, heart, and innovative thinking, is to empower deputies to embrace their critical role fully. It’s about acknowledging and celebrating that their responsibilities are a blend of the intricate dance of legal duties and the profound human connection, each step taken with integrity and respect for the individual’s story.
Among the enriching experiences offered at this year’s Deputy Day, we are proud to announce a profoundly impactful session that seeks to delve into the nuanced tapestry of our clients' lives.
Led by Fay Collinson of Kings Chambers, a distinguished barrister whose skill and insight have illuminated many paths,
this panel of experts includes seasoned deputies including Mike Knott, Slater and Gordon, Jane Bennett, JE Bennett Law, Kate Edwards, Fletchers, Jemma Morland, EMG and human rights and published law associate Saoirse De Bon, Irwin Mitchell.
They bring to the stage a shared dedication to justice and a wealth
of stories that speak to the heart of guardianship, from standing firm against coercion, to navigating the complexities of relationships and marriage, confronting the spectres of financial abuse, and mastering the meticulous stewardship of finances.
In sharing these real-life examples,
the session offers a mirror to our own challenges and triumphs, providing not just knowledge but the reassurance that we are not alone in our quest to uphold the fragile balance between protection and empowerment. It’s a commitment to innovative thinking and boundless empathy, together weaving a richer understanding for deputies dedicated to safeguarding the rights and dignities of those they serve.
Deputy Day is more than an event. It’s a statement—an affirmation that we are here, not only as professionals but as compassionate human beings dedicated to making a difference. We stand together, ready to face whatever challenges come our way with courage and with grace.
Even more interactive than before
This year, we're particularly excited to introduce workshops that offer a dive deeper into topics that directly impact our work and, consequently, the lives of those we advocate for. These sessions are designed to be
intimate gatherings where questions aren’t just welcomed—they’re encouraged. They're about understanding the pulse of change in our field and adapting in ways that align with our core values of integrity and innovation.
Understanding that growth and learning
are deeply personal journeys, we're offering sessions on Costs, Investments, Tax, and Welfare Benefits—each led by experts passionate about sharing their knowledge and expertise. After securing your ticket, you'll have the choice to select which workshops resonate most with your needs and interests.
Our Commitment to our Clients
We understand that the decision to attend Deputy Day, much like the decision to stand as a deputy or a cost lawyer, is one made with the heart as much as the mind. The responsibilities you shoulder, advocating for those who find themselves in life's most challenging moments, are profound. It's a role that demands more than just professional acumen; it requires an unwavering dedication to the human spirit.
That's why Deputy Day is more than an
event. It’s a statement—an affirmation that
we are here, not only as professionals but as compassionate human beings dedicated to making a difference. We stand together, ready to face whatever challenges come our way with courage and with grace.
