This issue of Legal Week marks our fifth anniversary. To celebrate this event, we have – in line with the trusted adage that you are only as good as your last issue – focused our energy on the here and now, in the shape of another strong edition, rather than taking too much of a trip down memory lane.

As ever, the judgement as to whether or not we have been successful will be made by the readers. But we are confident that our mix of news, analysis and comment is hitting the right buttons.
