Professor George Gretton and The Keeper of the Registers of Scotland, Jennifer Henderson, are to headline Millar & Bryce’s Modern Conveyancing Conference in Edinburgh this September.

Both will join leading industry experts to discuss some of the current practical and legal challenges affecting the conveyancing market-place, whilst sharing their extensive policy and practical experience.
