Dear Colleagues

 

We, Richard Nolan, Tang Hang Wu and Kelvin Low, would like to invite proposals for papers for a conference to be held in Singapore from 27-28 July 2017.

 

The Centre for Cross-Border Commercial Law in Asia, Singapore Management University, York Law School and the Singapore Academy of Law will convene the second conference in the “Modern Studies in the Law of Trusts and Wealth Management” series from 27-28 July 2017 in Singapore.  The website of the first conference may be found here http://www.sal.org.sg/conference/Trusts2015/default.htm

 

The theme of the conference is “The Use and Abuse of Trusts and Other Wealth Management Devices”. The theme of the conference focuses on current developments and challenges facing trust law, and those who study or practise it, in the present political climate. The conveners of the conference plan to produce a published volume from the papers presented at this conference. Selected papers from the last conference will soon be published by Cambridge University Press. Scholars working in the fields of trust law and wealth management are invited to submit proposals addressing the conference theme.  The conveners are keen to hear a diversity of voices on the topic and would welcome scholars from beyond the Commonwealth, women scholars and young scholars in the field.

 

We are in the process of confirming the keynote and various speakers.  Thus far, the confirmed speakers include Alastair Hudson (Exeter), Paul Davies (Oxford) David Pollard (Trust Law International/Freshfields), James Lee (KCL), Jamie Glister (Sydney), Lou Jianbo (Peking), Lusina Ho (HKU), Simon Douglas (Oxford), Simone Degeling (UNSW), Thomas Gallanis (Iowa) and Warren Barr (Liverpool).

 

Presenters from the general call for papers will be expected to meet their own travel costs and to pay the conference registration fee of S$500 (excluding Goods and Services Tax of 7%). Unfortunately, the conference organisers do not have any funding to help meet cost of travel or the registration fee.

 

If you would like to offer a paper, please submit a working title and an abstract (of no more than 1500 words) by 31 January 2017 by email to all of three of us: Richard Nolan (richard.nolan@york.ac.uk ), Tang Hang Wu (hwtang@smu.edu.sg ) and Kelvin Low (kelvinlow@smu.edu.sg ).

 

Best Regards
