Trust and financial management orders

Aeran’s Jane Campbell was delighted to have the opportunity to speak at the NSW Trustee & Guardian seminar held in partnership with the Australian Lawyers Alliance.

The NSW Trustee kindly hosted this free event on Tuesday 8 April 2025 in Sydney, enabling lawyers to hear first hand from the two Supreme Court judges who are now devoted to all NSW settlement approvals for plaintiffs who lack capacity.

The judges were followed by NSW Trustee lawyers who explained the differences between trust and financial management orders, and provided sample wordings to help ensure clarity and consistency.

Jane explained the importance of personal injury lawyers considering all the relevant issues and options prior to settlement, to ensure the best eventual outcome for individual plaintiffs in all their different circumstances.

Thanks to the NSW Trustee and the NSW Committee of the Australian Lawyers Alliance.
