How good is your website? Andy Cullwick explains why it should always be a work in progress

The Law Commission has launched a call for evidence on decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs)—a type of organisation typically reliant on blockchain systems that are increasingly important in crypto-markets.

Is your firm’s website up to scratch? With law firms seen as the ‘biggest laggers’ in adopting a slick online presence, digital agency Indie Ridge sets out the importance of upgrading your web output in NLJ this week.

HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) has added the ability for solicitors to archive draft cases on the MyHMCTS portal where the case is in pre-submission stage and is no longer required.

The Courts and Tribunals Judiciary (CTJ) has reported that the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, Lord Burnett of Maldon, appeared before the House of Commons Justice Select Committee on 8 November 2022 to give evidence on his work.

Having a clear and impactful online presence is essential for every law firm if they want to stand out from thousands of other firms and cut through to their clients.

Mike Chapman, Co-founder of Indie Ridge, explains why and how law firms benefit from having a bespoke website that showcases their expertise.

A call for evidence on the operation, risks and benefits of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the wider blockchain has been launched by the Digital, Culture, Media & Sport Committee.

The decline of local newspapers has resulted in court proceedings being less visible to the public, and digital media has so far failed to fill the gap, a parliamentary committee has warned.

A joint working party of the City of London Law Society (CLLS) and the Law Society of England and Wales Company Law & Financial Law Committees (the Joint Working Party) has published note on the execution of a document using an electronic signature.

NLJ this week: Assisted dying under the legal microscope

Assisted dying remains one of the most fraught fault lines in English law, where compassion and criminal liability sit uncomfortably close.
