With spring officially here, we turn to a new chapter in the year. What stories are emerging in the legal sector, and what new trends will shape the space in this new season? Our front cover story for this month features Kennedy Koblin, a highly experienced family lawyer, who takes a close look at the phenomenon of parental alienation. When a divorce turns acrimonious, the actions of one partner can cause irreparable harm to a couple’s children and undermine the effectiveness of the separation process. You can read more on the subject on page 14. More insights come from Joy Davies and Callum Scott at Nottingham Trent University’s NLS Legal, where they discuss the value of ‘teaching law firms’ as a means of training the new generation of legal talent. We also take a close look at the developing battleground of AI-created art, its impact on artists and its potential consequences for the IP sector. You can find these respective deep dives on page 22 and page 32. As ever, the magazine comes with a full array of legal news and lawyer moves to keep you abreast of current happenings in the legal sector, as well as insightful special features tackling topics as diverse as talent retention and legal tech optimisation. Whatever your role or your sector, there is bound to be something here to catch your interest. We hope that you enjoy this edition!
