The LAW Newsletter Spring 2019 – Armstrong Watson

17/04/2019


Welcome to the Spring 2019 edition of The LAW, the specialist publication for the legal profession from the legal sector team at Armstrong Watson.

Specialists are available from all of our 17 offices, to provide pro-active support and advice to lawyers in compliance and business improvement matters.  This publication is designed to allow us to share our collective experience in acting for lawyers throughout the UK.

Following our Glasgow acquisition, we are now helping many more law firms in Scotland and will shortly be launching our Breakfast Briefing events in Glasgow and Edinburgh – watch this space!

For England and Wales, we are also looking forward to the new SRA Accounts Rules, which are due to come into effect in Summer 2019.  We have started our series of formal public training courses on the new rules and the feedback from delegates in London, Leeds, Hull, Carlisle, Liverpool and Manchester has been excellent.  We are also being engaged by firms for internal courses for their finance teams and fee earners.  Please contact me if you would like to be included.

As ever, in this edition we focus on ways to improve your business and your advice to your clients, including:

  • Ensuring you obtain full tax relief for partner’s expenses
  • Working together on trusts
  • Opportunities for boosting the cashflow of PI firms via a VAT tweak
  • An update on the requirements for lawyer referring clients to IFAs
  • Effective use of management information to boost performance
