At COSRT’s 2019 AGM two new trustees were voted onto the board by the organisation’s Membership. Adding to an already dedicated and highly skilled team, Dr Eli Joubert and Hazel Wright bring huge knowledge and experience in issues such as family law, NHS practice, academia and charity governance. Staff, existing trustees and Members welcome both to the organisation at a time of great excitement with COSRT’s new five year strategy in development.

She was Head of the Family Department and of the Private Client Group in her previous law firm, working at the highest levels, and co-led a merger in 2012. She now works at Hunters, mainly in out of court dispute resolution.
Hazel is a lead tutor for the Sex, Relationships and the Law module on a COSRT-approved diploma.
