In the face of myriad forms of elder abuse and against the
backdrop of an ageing population, interprofessional collaboration
on legal matters will be paramount moving forward.
In this episode of The Boutique Lawyer Show, 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.
