Next publication date: October 21st 2019 1 www.biall.org.uk President’s Column Having finally got the hang of the role of President Elect after 12 months I find myself moving on…. Like many before me it seems like no time at all since I attended my first BIALL event – in my case it would have been a meeting of the Irish Special Interest Group (ISIG) - and now I find myself writing the BIALL President’s Column. I’m just home from the 50th anniversary conference in Bournemouth and celebrating this landmark in style in the company of many former Presidents and Chairs. I’m honoured to be following in such august footsteps, as well as slightly apprehensive, and looking forward to a busy year ahead. This starts off with our first Council meeting of the year on 4th July, followed in July by a Supplier Liaison Group meeting, a trip to Washington to represent BIALL at the annual American Association of Law Libraries conference, and a meeting of the Conference Committee. Thankfully, developments in technology have meant that I can attend at least one of these meetings remotely. I have learnt an enormous amount over the past couple of years acting as Council liaison to various committees, in particular the Professional Development Committee (PDC), where I came away from my first meeting amazed at the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes by volunteers to bring events and training to our members. The beginning of the BIALL year occurs seven days after our Annual General Meeting Renate Ní Uigín (AGM), and I’d like to sincerely thank the Council members and Committee Chairs who are stepping down and welcome our new recruits. In particular, I would like to thank Anneli Sarkenen, who has come to the end of her term as Immediate Past President, and Chair of the Nominations and Volunteers Committee, where she did Trojan work. She is an invaluable source of practicality and wisdom, and I hope she continues to send me her helpful suggestions over the coming year. She’s not really retiring; I’d be fairly sure we’ll be seeing her in a different guise again soon. Thanks go to Jon Beaumont, not only for his work on Council, but also for his work with the Document Management System (DMS), to Lisa Davies, and Chairs Loyita Worley, Neil Edwards, Robert Turner, Katrina Gambold, and a welcome to new Chairs Sinéad Curtin, Kim McLachlan, Nicky Vignoli, and Claire Mazer. Past Presidents And a very big thank you goes to Dunstan Speight; from whom I have learnt, among many other things, the merits of thinking before you talk, and that giving a measured thought-out response often works better than an instant reaction. I fully intend to continue to rely on his experience and expertise over the coming months. I have never felt that I am stepping into this role on my own, not only knowing that I will be working with Dunstan as Immediate Past President and Karen Brown as President Elect, but being able to rely on Jackie Hanes our Honorary Treasurer and David Percik our Honorary Secretary, as well as the Council and Committee Chairs past and present (yes I am casting the net far and wide!) I thoroughly enjoyed reaping the rewards of all the inspiration and preparation of the Conference Committee and Sovereign at the 50th Annual Study Conference & Exhibition at Bournemouth ‘50 not out, past, present, future’. Whoever would have realised that it was the first Conference for Julie Christmas in the role of Chair of the Conference Committee? A real example of how knowledge sharing works in practice. 2 President’s Column - continued The highlight of my Conference had to be the delivery of the Willi Steiner Memorial Lecture by Lady Hale. Her personal recollections of Willi Steiner were an additional bonus in our anniversary year. She took us through ‘The changing legal landscape’ and identified five areas that have shaped it. It’s a number of years since I completed my law degree but I found myself recognising many of the elements she was discussing, not having realised during my time as an undergraduate how significant they were. David Allen Green in our opening plenary session managed to succinctly present the current position of the Brexit process in a very comprehensible manner and there was many a proud Irish delegate when he mentioned the Irish journalists as a source of reliable information. I now have new podcasts to listen to thanks to Kevin Poulter; remain sceptical of the language around legal tech and artificial intelligence as well as more confident taking part in the conversation after Robin Chesterman’s talk. I discovered my day has a lot in common with that of Paul Sandles of the Supreme Court Library, and am in awe of the work undertaken by Matthew Bell and his team at the National Archives in preparation for integrating EU legislation onto www.legislation.gov.uk . I’m also really interested in seeing how the pilot phase of BIALL’s mentoring scheme will progress. Lady Hale The session that gave me my primary takeaway from the conference was the one I chaired, and despite the fact it was on Saturday morning after our Annual Dinner, I could have continued listening to Ron Wheeler and Helen Ouseley about ‘Creating an inclusive culture’. Ron’s personal take on this subject included educating us on micro-aggressions and Helen’s practical focus on what we, not only as employers, but as individuals, can do - micro-actions. Helen’s comments that diversity without inclusion won’t work and the fact we all need to do something resonated, and there will be more on this theme over the coming year. Remember the Legal Information Management (LIM) winter edition will contain articles from papers delivered at the conference and I anticipate a very interesting read. Attending the Conference as President Elect was a different experience. I not only enjoyed the sessions, and the birthday celebrations, but attended meetings – Standing Committee on Strategy and Finance (SCOSAF), the Annual General Meeting (AGM), Have Your Say, and the Supplier Forum where I learnt a lot, and anticipate learning more over the coming year. I met our overseas delegates, and realise that I am now part of international network! I had never appreciated just how many bursary winners attend conference – but benefited from their ‘roving mic’ duty. I went to a meeting of the still relatively new Knowledge Management Special Interest Group (KMSIG), to discover that perhaps more of us are doing KM than we think? Very few members are KM specific but many have it as a facet of their job.

  • Insurers Migrating South?
    Insurers Migrating South? Latest research by Newton Perkins has identified a shifting of the sands within the EC3 postcode over Summer/Autumn as several high profile insurance occupiers have announced their intention to relocate to buildings south of the "Lloyds Triangle". Let’s start with a little background. The EC3 postcode has historically been, and remains, the focal point of the UK wholesale insurance sector. The London market wrote a staggering £17bn of premium business last year. The hub within EC3 is the iconic 1986 Richard Rogers designed Lloyd’s building on Lime Street. Many underwriters and higher profile brokers are only willing to consider offices in the immediate surrounds. The vicinity (known as the “Lloyd’s Triangle”) has maintained and indeed increased its allure for world leading insurers such as Willis and AON (to be joined shortly by W R Berkley with their so called "Scalpel" building) siting their HQ's overlooking Lloyd’s. Indeed, the lack of supply in the traditional “Triangle” is prompting top City rents to be paid even in locations just outside the traditional definition of the “Triangle” (such as Ascot Underwriting committing to £70 per sq ft for a floor at the new Canary Wharf/Land Securities development at 20 Fenchurch St). Our research has now confirmed a willingness to look outside the "Triangle“ and the attached map shows 15 of the more significant re- locations over the past two years. The latest affirmation was last month's confirmation of the pre-letting of half (85,000 sq ft) of 70 Mark Lane by Miller Insurance who will move from Jewry Street in 2015.
