This week Solve Legal, owner of Today’s Wills and Probate, hosted our inaugural Editorial Board Meeting and Round Table.
As we strive to continually develop and shape the content we provide to you, we called on a range of experts from within the sector to come and visit our offices and share their views on the publication and the wider market.
Our panel (see below) brought together a wide selection of different businesses and career backgrounds from both the regulated and unregulated sectors. We received some fantastic guidance from the panel, which we plan to implement in coming months.
The panel also took part in a lively debate on the topic of: “Legal Update: the Law Commission Proposals”. We will report on this in September in a full length feature.
On behalf of the team, I would like to give a huge thank you to those who attended.
