Take a look at the new look NLJ

NLJ is acutely aware of the momentous changes the Jackson reforms are bringing to the profession and while the goal of those reforms, to conduct litigation in an effective and economically sensible way, is widely viewed as a worthy one, we understand that implementing the reforms within your firm will not always be easy.

Faster paced litigation and an emphasis on proportionate preparation may, in some cases, involve a cultural change and that changing the way cases are managed and costs budgeted is going to require new practices and modifications in the way you do business.

Unique online sections: To assist you through this time of change, NLJ is pleased to introduce its new-look website with unique sections geared towards helping the practitioner navigate the post-Jackson world:

• NLJ Masterclasses
These exclusive online updates have a special focus on the Jackson reforms and chart how these momentous changes to procedure and practice will impact on you. Written by experts, these online classes provide invaluable commentary on Jackson pain points including CFAs, DBAs, disclosure,proportionality, Pt 36 offers and QOCS. These are enriched by a fully searchable exclusive Jackson archive,
charting the progress and intricacies of these major changes.

• Costs management
We know that this will be a challenge for most fi rms as new rules bed in and firms adopt new budgeting techniques, so we are delighted that HH Judge Simon Brown QC has written an exclusive series of online articles for NLJ – outlining the extensive changes to costs budgeting, case management, and proportionality. Judge Brown’s series kick-starts this new section, driven by costs experts, which is geared to avoiding the pitfalls of costs management.

• Litigation trends
While every firm will approach Jackson differently, we want to monitor trends and shifts in the marketplace and look at the impact of the reforms, how costs budgeting plans are being implemented and look to see how fi rms are restructuring and why. This exclusive survey will chart the impact of the Jackson changes in their fi rst year and provide a regular overview of how the changes are affecting the profession.
