Litigation Trends Survey - Jackson a Year on

In the second NLJ / LSLA litigation trends survey, James Baxter reports on how firms and practitioners are adapting to new ways of litigating post-Jackson and post-Mitchell.

If the new litigation landscape envisaged by Lord Justice Jackson has yet to be realised, how long before it is complete? This exclusive series of online surveys, conducted with the support and co-operation of London Solicitors’ Litigation Association (LSLA) members, is designed to provide a regular overview of how firms and practitioners are attempting to chart a way through to workable, cost-effective solutions post-Jackson.

Download the attached pdf to read the survey findings in full.
