As this edition is finalised, we are hitting the height of summer – and hitting it a little too hard, judging by the news from around the world. Amid unsettling reports of rising temperatures, wildfires and their human impact, we wish a safe month to all of our international colleagues. Our front cover feature of the month comes from prolific US healthcare attorney Helen Oscislawski, who has accrued a wealth of knowledge pertaining to health data and privacy over the course of a long and successful career. In today’s age of holistic digital integration, what safeguards exist for patients’ data, and how might a growing focus on app-centric healthcare cause friction? You can find our conversation with Helen on page 14. Elsewhere in this edition, we speak with a number of other attorneys of note, including Deborah Schuff at JUNES Legal and Lee Previant and John Noland at NP Law Firm. These stars in their respective fields share a little of their specialised knowledge with us, probing deeply into the fundamentals of process service and trial law. These interviews can be found on page 24 and page 48. Finally, as ever, this edition comes packed with a host of news stories and lawyer moves to get you caught up on all of the goings-on in the legal sector, as well as the latest developments in the M&A and IPO space. All you need to know about the world of business and law going into August is collected here for you to peruse. We hope that you enjoy this edition.
