Today marks the day the UK was supposed to be ready to leave the EU and, as predicted by many, it failed to happen. Those in the UK and beyond are left in awe, so we decided to get in touch with experts specialising in an array of sectors which are waiting for the changes that may, or may not be, coming their way. From immigration to cross-border transactions, we explore the range of changes which may be coming our way and ponder: how will the legal sector cope? With the corporate sphere becoming ever interconnected across a variety of jurisdictions, we touch onwhether advancing to a dual qualified lawyer and being able to practice law in a variety of jurisdictions will benefit you or your clients. We also got in touch with John Hayes, Founder of Constantine Law, who states: “The SRA’s price transparency rules don’t go far enough, and law firms pay lip service to them”; we explore this with John in his insightful article. As usual, we have the latest updates in the corporate legal sphere. From immigration law to mergers, we hope that our April issue keeps you updated on all you need to know! A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
