July 2020

Just back to work?
As workplaces begin to open up again after COVID-19, all employers, including legal practices, are facing some key questions and challenges. This feature looks at some of the issues
The silk road: a modern journey
Few civil solicitor advocates have as yet taken silk. Why is that? The author recounts his own journey to becoming senior counsel, and assesses how the changing litigation scene may affect others
New angles on the review
Recent reports and events bring fresh perspectives on Esther Roberton’s proposal for a new professional regulator, but fail to add weight to her case for reform
Could you help family businesses?
Family business clients are a growing market, but need carefully tailored, multi-disciplinary solutions. The author poses some testing questions for would-be advisers
Arbitration: a family lawyer’s tale
A Perth solicitor describes her first experience of arbitration to resolve a family law dispute, and how it overcame difficulties facing a sheriff court action

For ease of reading on the device of your choice, you can also access this issue of the Journal, presented in its usual page layout, in two formats:
