Lawyer Monthly Magazine October 2020 Edition

Welcome to our October 2020 Edition! - With lockdown 2.0 threatening to keep us all on our toes, it seems as we draw to the end of the year, the global pandemic has no intention of slowing down. Amongst families and friends, economies and businesses are feeling the wrath of COVID-19, and all across the globe everyone is trying their hardest to make the best out of a bad situation. Therefore, this month, we have focussed our issue on how we can try to survive the pandemic. We hear from experts that share what businesses can do to ensure their company has a stronger chance of making it through this crisis, and also touch on if your company contracts and policies stand up to the COVID-19 test. Our cover story this month is, again, COVID central, but this time we focus on how it is impacting the next generation of lawyers. Will this pandemic negatively hit aspiring lawyers and barristers for years to come? Turn to page 41 to find out. Shifting to topics unrelated to the health crisis, we also touch on immigration in Canada, trust litigation in Los Angeles, as well as suing and litigating against the government in the US. As always, we round up the top news stories from the past month on page 6 and the recent deals and M&A transactions that have occurred over the past business quarter on page 70. We hope you enjoy this issue, and I will see you next month! Universal Media Limited 179,587 net digital distribution Subscription Details: Lawyer Monthly is published 12 times per year.
