Brian Ludmer, a Canadian attorney widely known for his advocacy of family reform generally and equal shared parenting in particular, is scheduled to deliver a professional presentation at the upcoming Shared Parenting in Practice: Challenges and Opportunities conference in Lisbon, Portugal.
The four-day event is being organized by the International Council on Shared Parenting (ICSP) and is set to bring together a veritable who’s who in the fields of family law, social services, academia, and civil society, as they pertain to shared parenting.
According to the provisional itinerary, Ludmer is slated to speak from 10:40 – 11 am on the third day of the conference, which is Friday, December 5th, 2025. His presentation is titled How to Make a Successful Court Submission for Equal Shared Parenting in 2025, and will touch on a host of topics relevant to the conference’s central themes.
Brian Ludmer is the founder and principal attorney of Ludmer Law, a legal firm based in Toronto, Canada’s largest city. In his presentation, he will draw on more than three decades of experience handling high-conflict custody cases, parental alienation disputes, and complex matters pertaining to family law.
Beyond his legal practice, Brian Ludmer co-wrote the industry-recognized non-fiction book The High Conflict Custody Battle alongside Amy J. L. Baker, Ph.D. and J. Michael Bone, Ph.D. Adding to his bona fides on the subject, Ludmer is also a co-founder of Lawyers for Shared Parenting, a professional advocacy group promoting fairness in custody disputes. Additionally, he has made substantial contributions to family law reform in his home country of Canada, both through the courts and legislatively, including his work in drafting Bill C-560, which sought to establish a presumption of equal shared parenting in all Canadian custody cases.
