2013 - A challenge ahead
2012 not only saw the first full year of the Legal Services Act and the launch of a number of new legal service providers but also the implementation of an entirely new compliance regime. 2013 brings the introduction of a ban on referral fees payable by lawyers to the introducers of work. We asked a select number of small law firms to participate in a survey at the end of December and the results have helped us to form our opinion on the challenges that face them for 2013. The survey is still…See More

I Do, Do You?
David Cameron last week spoke out; “It’s a crime”, he said, and “it should be a crime.” “We need to change the culture and say loudly and clearly it is unacceptable.” He was talking about criminalisation of forced marriage, but this could easily be the view of a Wilson-era Briton objecting to the government’s open social liberalism. It has been half a decade since the legalisation of divorce, homosexuality and abortion, yet the rights of homosexual couples remains on the agenda. The media has…See More

How Healthy Is Your Will?
One in five wills contains a serious error, says Legal Services Board.All those offering will-writing and estate administration services should be regulated, the Legal Services Board has recommended. The LSB was set up to regulate lawyers in England and Wales. Its goal is to modernise the provision of legal services by putting consumers at the heart of the legal system, and it has released a proposal calling for regulation in the area of wills and estate administration. The LSB has recently…See More

‘Clare’s Law’- A change for the better for victims of domestic violence?
In October 2008, Clare Wood ended her relationship with George Appleton. Her rejection sparked a campaign of abuse, resulting in her horrific murder four months later. Appleton had a history of violence against women, including harassment, threats and kidnapping a former girlfriend at knifepoint.Despite a number of complaints to the police, resulting in a panic button being fitted in her home, this was not enough to save Clare. Her murder made clear that the treatment of domestic crime requires…See More
Peter Mericka commented on Gary Yantin's blog post Freedom of Choice? Freedom of Solicitors
"I was under the impression that real estate agents selected which lawyer a consumer uses, and that lawyers accept this reality without complaint (and I have had long arguments/discussions with UK lawyers on this issue recently). Why the fuss…"

Freedom of Choice? Freedom of Solicitors
As soon as Janice walks through the door she knows it’s the one. The spectacular view of the garden from the master bedroom, the sparkling marble kitchen worktops she has dreamt of, and the playroom which is perfect for the kids. All she needs to do is speak to her solicitor and he’ll sort everything out. The one in the office round the corner. The one who helped her buy her first flat, wrote her will, and sorted out her cousin’s divorce. But wait, she needs a mortgage from HSBC, and her local…See More

The Pied Piper and Other Social Media Tales
Pied Piper (Noun): A charismatic person who attracts followers. (Merriam Webster English Dictionary)There was a time when the only communication with the outside world during a working day was the morning post delivery or occasional telephone call. Times have changed. Mobile phones make employees accessible 24 hours a day, and the constant barrage of e-mails, tweets, text, Facebook and Twitter messages means a moment’s silence is rare.For spheres of employment where social media is encouraged,…See More

It might never happen .....but just in case
“And so it stays just on the edge of vision, A small, unfocused blur, a standing chill That slows each impulse down to indecision. Most things may never happen: this one will.”Says Philip Larkin in his poem ‘Aubade’. He is referring to death but he could just as readily have been referring to the onset of old age. That, too, will happen (for most of us, anyway).There is nothing we can do to defer it or stave it off, but we…See More

Second Life After Death
Watching Mark Zuckerberg on Sunday’s ‘Inside Facebook’ (BBC2) a few weeks ago got me thinking. Facebook now extends from ‘before the cradle to beyond the grave’. Recently, my online friends’ status updates have announced the happy news of pregnancies (complete with scan photos) and sad news about the loss of a loved one and the funeral arrangements. How much do Facebook’s 800 million users really want to share, and what kind of digital mark will they leave when their physical selves cease to…See More
