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.
