In this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back M De Mestre Lawyers founder and principal Mary-Ann de Mestre to discuss the state of affairs in elder law, the various forms of abuse that elder persons may suffer, the urgent need to address such matters, and why broader education for lawyers and non-lawyers is required.
De Mestre also fleshes out the impact that such work can have on lawyers, the practical steps that must be taken by practitioners (including upskilling and specialising), whether elder law will soon be seen as a standalone niche practice area, the need to liaise and engage with myriad stakeholders, and what good collaboration will look like in the future.
