ConTrA is the network for Contentious Trusts Associates and junior counsel

ConTrA's objective is to bring together up and coming solicitors and counsel specialising in trust disputes to forge networks, discuss experiences and share combined knowledge.

ConTrA was founded in 2015 by Simon Goldring and Jessica Henson and is in its fifth year programme running informative and social events, covering the most pertinent and current issues affecting contentious trust practices - particularly from an associate/junior counsel's perspective.

Simon and Jessica felt it was important to engage associates and junior counsel early on in their career and to evolve with those individuals as they go on to become partners and QCs.

ConTrA has gone from strength to strength and now has a committee of associates and barristers from various top tier firms and chambers appointed to run its annual programme and has around 450 active members in multiple jurisdictions.
