My book, the ‘Contentious Trusts Handbook’ took centre stage on the marketing stand at the Law Society Private Client Conference 2023 held on 28 June at the Law Society’s historic main office at 113 Chancery Lane, London. This image was forwarded to me by my editor at Law Society Publishing. My next book – which I have already started writing, will be the 2nd edition of the ‘Contentious Probate Handbook’. I am aiming to complete and submit the final draft to my editor at the Law Society in November 2024. This will contain a comprehensive new chapter about ‘mediating’ and ‘mediation advocacy’ in trust and estate disputes. To download and read my four recent articles about mediating trust and estate disputes, including – ‘Mediating Probate and Trust Disputes – Process Challenges and Tools – Part 2’ published by Oxford University Press in Trusts & Trustees 24.06.2023 [Abstract: https://lnkd.in/eqSkkQhG] and Part 1 (published worldwide in print in the Journal – February 2023); ‘Mediation and Estate/Business Succession Planning’ published in Taxation by Tolley 08.03.2022; and ‘Mediation and the tax-efficient settlement of probate disputes’, published in Taxation by Tolley 01.03.2022, please visit the ’Publications’ page at www.carlislam.co.uk. For book reviews please visit the ‘Contentious Trusts Handbook’ and ‘Contentious Probate Handbook’ pages of my website. Since December 2020, I have been studying part-time for a Diploma in Art Law at the Institute of Art & Law in London (https://ial.uk.com/), and going forward as a practising Barrister, CMC Registered Mediator, and author, I am developing a niche research and writing interest in  ‘Art Business Contracts’, see the ‘Mediation of Art Disputes’ page at www.carlislam.co.uk. The provisional title of my three Diploma essays, which have to be written in addition to the ten compulsory course modules which students have to undertake are:

– ‘Mediating Cultural Property Disputes.’ 
– ‘Art Business Contracts.’
