Thank you for opening this magazine. Sadly, this will be my last edition as editor of Lawyer Monthly before the role passes on, but I am happy to be ending my run on a strong issue. As the hot months (mercifully) pass and we approach the end of another year, please join me for one last time as we dive into the latest goings-on in the legal and business worlds. Speaking with us in this month’s front cover feature is Kuldip Bhatti, a leading UK-based notary public. His interview, which you can find on page 14, covers both Kuldip’s own career and the myriad skills possessed by modern notaries. Why are these skills – and the services that notaries offer – so essential to the business landscape as a whole? Read on for some excellent insights. In the My Legal Life section, we speak with two more lawyers of distinction. On page 22 we hear from Stephen Townley on strategies for protecting sport and entertainment brands from litigation risks, and on page 28 Gene Carlino explores the ins and outs of elder law and Medicaid planning. Elsewhere in the magazine are many more features of note, touching on areas as diverse as mediation, the music industry and the climate crisis. Finally, as ever, this new edition comes packed with news stories and M&A insights to help you stay abreast of the latest developments in the legal sector. It has been a pleasure to bring these stories to you each month, and I am enormously grateful to the authors I have worked with and the readers who have followed along with each new release. Here’s hoping our paths will cross again someday. I hope that you enjoy this edition!
