  • Response to Impact Assessment of Policy Option 1: Require All Claims to Be Submitted to ACAS in the First Instance
    Resolving Workplace Disputes: Response of the Employment Lawyers Association to a Consultation by the Department for Business Innovations & Skills – April 2011 i. The Employment Lawyers Association (“ELA”) is an unaffiliated group of specialists in employment law including those who represent both employers and employees. It is not our role to comment on the political merits or otherwise of proposed legislation; rather we make observations from a legal standpoint. ii. ELA’s Policy and Legislative Committee consists of barristers and solicitors (both in private practice and in-house) who meet regularly for a number of purposes, including considering and responding to proposed new laws. iii. We set up a working group under the Chairmanship of Richard Fox (Kingsley Napley) to consider and comment on the Consultation Paper “Resolving Workplace Disputes” released by the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (“BIS”) in January 2011. iv. We organised ourselves into 5 subgroups as follows: Group 1 – Chair: Peter Frost (Herbert Smith) Mediation – Questions 1 to 7; Compromise Agreements – Questions 8 to 11; Early Conciliation – Questions 12 to 20; Further information – Question 24; Initial statement of loss – Questions 34 to 41 Group 2 – Chair: Stephen Levinson (RadcliffeLeBrasseur) Strike out – Questions 21 to 23; Deposit Orders – Questions 25 to 29; Calderbank Orders – Questions 42 to 44; Costs cap – Questions 30 to 33; Entitlement to expenses – Questions 49 to 51 Group 3 – Chair: Robert Davies (Dundas & Wilson) Witness statement procedure

Ashurst partner Geoffrey Green, talking to Legal Business last year. And 2005/06 was the year when Ashurst finally came of age as a confidently branded, progressive law firm in its own right – as opposed to being a perennial US merger target. A focus on improving its profitability has paid huge dividends, with Ashurst making up ground on the Magic Circle and establishing clear blue water between itself and rivals in its immediate peer group. Average profits now stand at £701,000, up 24% from last year. Encouragingly, the firm has seen revenues rise by 28% at the half-year mark of the current financial year, which is expected to translate into another significant profits increase for 2006/07. Ashurst has been extremely active in the laterals market, taking 15 partners internationally. In December, the firm announced that it was set to launch in Stockholm with (L-R) James Baxter and Vanessa Pawsey of Legal Business, Simon Bromwich and the takeover of three-partner AJB Bergh, a move driven by the Geoffrey Green of Ashurst, with Richard Meddelton of The Royal Bank of Scotland HIGHLY COMMENDED has quietly re-established its position as a leading BURGES SALMON UK law firm with a reinvigorated City office.

TRANSNATIONAL LAW PRACTICE Richard L. Abelt T RANSNATIONAL law practice has grown dramatically in recent years, but scholarship has not kept pace. This Article fills the void in three different, yet related, ways. The first section seeks to explain the patterns of transnational law practice that have emerged in recent decades. The second describes the constraints on transnational practice, especially those imposed by national and supranational regulation. I conclude with proposals about how lawyers, professional organizations, and governments should regulate transnational law practice. Since there is no comprehensive account of the growth of transnational law practice, I have appended one, drawn from a wide variety of sources, including Martindale-Hubbell, the International Financial Law Review, and Business Lawyer,' as well as a dozen interviews with lawyers in t Professor, U.C.L.A.

  • Response to Government Consultation on Moving Land Registry
    City of London Law Society Land Law Committee response to consultation on moving Land Registry operations into the private sector Introduction The City of London Law Society (“CLLS”) represents approximately 17,000 City lawyers through individual and corporate membership including some of the largest international law firms in the world. These law firms advise a variety of clients from multinational companies and financial institutions to Government departments, often in relation to complex, multi-jurisdictional legal issues. The CLLS responds to a variety of consultations on issues of importance to its members through its 19 specialist committees. This response in respect of the Department for Business Innovation and Skills Consultation on moving Land Registry operations into the private sector has been prepared by the CLLS Land Law Committee. This response is given by those members of the Land Law Committee listed at the end of this response. The following individuals/firms have asked to be excluded from this response - Daniel McKimm/Allen & Overy LLP, Jamie Chapman/Ashurst LLP, Ian Waring/Berwin Leighton Paisner LLP, Michael Edwards/Clifford Chance LLP, Bruce Dear/Eversheds LLP, Jayne Elkins/Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP, Victoria Hills/Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, James Barnes/Herbert Smith Freehills LLP, Martin Elliott/Linklaters LLP, Nick Jones/Simmons & Simmons LLP, John Nevin/Slaughter & May and Alison Hardy/Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP.‎ General comments For‎the‎purposes‎of‎our‎comments,‎we‎assume‎that‎a‎private‎company‎(known‎as‎“NewCo”‎in‎the‎ consultation) will take over the Land Registry. We make that assumption because of the tenor of the commentary in the consultation that privatisation with a long term contract between government and a private operator and risk transferred to the latter is the preferred model.
