Firm welcomes partner and property litigation specialist

Capital markets partner joins London office's corporate practice group

Law firms have been warned again not to use litigation aimed at silencing critics—known as strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs).

The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Burnett, is to retire on 30 September 2023, after six years in post.

Ten firms out of 40 taking part in a Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) thematic review of immigration services providers have been referred to disciplinary processes after ‘significant shortcomings’ were found.

Disquiet is growing in the City of London about the likely impact of the Bill of Rights Bill on the UK’s economic competitiveness, the Law Society has warned.

The SRA has announced the publication of a range of new guidance covering the financial sanctions regime, immigration work and effective supervision. It has also issued a warning notice on involvement in strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs).
