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.

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.

Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 996. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/996 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/996 For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.

  • Autumn 2017 Budget: Period Drama Or Zombie Apocalypse?, Practical Law UK Articles
    Autumn 2017 Budget: period drama or zombie apocalypse?, Practical Law UK Articles... Autumn 2017 Budget: period drama or zombie apocalypse? by Practical Law Tax Articles | Published on 24-Nov-2017 | UK, United Kingdom Leading tax experts gave us their views on the Autumn 2017 Budget. (Free access.) We asked leading tax practitioners for their views on the Autumn 2017 Budget. An overview of their comments is set out below; click on a name to read the comment in full. For the main measures of interest to businesses, see Legal update, Autumn 2017 Budget: key business tax announcements. For coverage of the implications of the Autumn 2017 Budget for a range of practice areas and sectors, see Practical Law, Autumn 2017 Budget. Setting the scene Despite an almost effervescent political delivery by "Spreadsheet Phil" (complete with comedic props from his co-star diva, Mrs May), the Autumn 2017 Budget was, barring one or two eye-raising exceptions, not edge of the seat viewing. Simon Skinner, Travers Smith LLP "was left with an impression of lots of words but not that much substance". Geraint Jones, Berg Kaprow Lewis LLP described it as "a rather timid affair" As ever, context is all. This was a minority government on the eve of the biggest destabilising global political event in recent history. And an opposition party biting at its heels with unanticipated vigour. Further, despite Fiscal Phil's audition for the lead role in a comedy caper, the figures belong in a disaster movie. There is surely only so much film star glamour to be mustered whilst uttering the words "[a]nd regrettably our productivity performance continues to disappoint".
