Helen räägib ka kohtus armastuse nõudest ning sellest, kus on kohtu piirid, et seda tagada. Upvestori diskussiooni veavad Ilona Nurmela, PhD ja Anne Veerpalu, PhD.

UPVESTOR podcasti saatejuhid Anne Veerpalu, PhD ja Ilona Nurmela, PhD räägivad seekord advokaatide Helen Hääle ja Katrin Oravaga varast, abiellumisest, kooselust ja ka lahutusest. Podcasti teema oli inspireeritud Naisadvokaatide võrgustiku aastakonverentsi ühest paneelist, kus osalesid ka Helen Hääl ja Katrin Orav ning kus räägitu oli üllatuseks ka nii mõnelegi advokaadile, kes oli tulnud konverentsiesinejaid kuulama. Advokaat Helen Hääl ja vandeadvokaat Katrin Orav on perekonnaõiguse advokaadid, kes igapäevaselt puutuvad kokku lahutusvaidluste, hooldusõigusvaidluste või muude vaidlustega, kuid sooviksid, et nende juurde tuldaks pigem enne kui probleemid perre saabuvad. Seega enne kui ostad kinnisvara kooselus, enne kui otsustate flippida ühe kooselu poole korterit, enne kui otsustate kokku kolida, enne kui abielluda - kuulake see podcast ära.Katrin Orava kohta leiate rohkem informatsiooni siit: https://www.katrinorav.ee/Helen Hääle kohta leiate rohkem teavet siit: https://www.concordia.ee/et/inimesed/helen-haal/2
