We’ve finally made it to the end of the year. It feels surreal and, boy, was it stuffed to the gills. It seems the theme for these last few months has been regulation and compliance – and this month’s issue of LPM covers just that, and more.
Lucy Trevelyan joins us to investigate what 2019 has in store for the SME legal market (p20). And find out just how much risk is on your plate for next year with our
risk supplement (p29), sponsored by LexisNexis.
Take a look at why and how Ashtons Legal moved offices over the summer with CEO Edward O’Rourke’s column (p9). And LPM’s HR guru Polly Jeanneret (p8)
reminisces on top topics that hit HR people in 2018 – from GDPR headaches to sexual harassment, gender paygap and more.
And I just realised, in aiming to make more allusions to food (because I just got back from Thanksgiving, and Christmas dinner is right around the corner), I accidentally used one of the phrases you hate most – find out what else is on that plate with our ‘six of the worst’ office buzzwords and phrases on page 50.
I hope you all have a nice and relaxing festive season, and we’ll be back again for more SME madness in February 2019.
