Ireland, Spring Conference 1995 was
held at Adare Manor, Adare, Co.
Limerick on Friday, 10 March 1995

and was attended by over 170 young
and not so young Solicitors.
We were delighted to welcome a
number of solicitors from Scotland,
England, Northern Ireland and
Holland who travelled to attend the

Conference
The Lectures were both informative
and thought provoking.
John
Loosemore
of Loosemore Planning
i
Servjces in Cardiff gave a paper on
Practice and Development "How to
get new Business" which was highly
entertaining. He said that firms today
need to identify the type of client they
wish to target arid the kind of service
they seek to provide in order to
develop a client base and a clear
marketing strategy. He suggested a
! number of marketing options
j
including press releases, corporate
|
; entertainment, questionnaires to
J
clients and brochures.

The second topic of the day was,
"Family Law - Property Division and
other areas in need of reform". It was
addressed by
Brian Gallagher
of
j
; Gallagher Shatter. Mr. Gallagher's
| lecture centered on the Judicial
Separation and Family Law
Reform Act 1989 and how this would
be affected by the 1994 Family
Law Bill.
In the beautiful weather the delegates
enjoyed horseriding, archery and clay
;
pigeon shooting in the grounds of
Adare Manor. Delegates also enjoyed
helicopter rides over both counties
Kerry and Limerick.

a great success and we were honoured
