Bullying In The Workplace Is Real

This week is anti-bullying week, something I find very important. Having three children, I am often taken back to the days at school where I was relentlessly bullied for years at primary, and despite a school move, my bully reappeared and attempted the same moves she had done before. Although this time I had built up new friendships, I was determined not to let her ruin my new found happiness and friendships. I responded to the abusive comments, instead of…

Marriage and Civil Partnerships -v- Cohabitation – How do they differ in relation to the parties’ finances upon the breakdown of their relationship?

When parties enter a marriage or civil partnership they voluntarily decide to form a union; they intentionally enter a contract with the knowledge that it gives rise to obligations. Parties who enter a cohabiting relationship enter no such contract or voluntary union. Cohabitation is viewed quite differently to marriage, particularly in the eyes of the law.

Are You Being Denied Access To Your Child?

When parents separate, it is not uncommon for a dispute to arise over living and contact arrangements.

The Importance Of Taking Stock Of Your Digital Assets

When people envisage what the term ‘digital asset’ actually means, they are likely to imagine crypto-currency and feel that it is not something that they personally need to consider when planning their Will. However, the term covers a vast array of ‘assets’ that many people now own and would not even consider an asset, as it is not something that is tangible.

A Will is one of the most important documents that you will make in your life. The risk of having a Will that includes unclear terms, unnecessary errors or one that does not comply with formal statutory requirements, or one that fails to dispose of all the Testator’s assets could be quite detrimental for the family. A Will should not only take into account your current financial or family circumstances but should account for changes that may arise in the future…

Modernising the Modern

Prior to the introduction of the Gender Recognition Act 2004 the law in relation to transgendered people was antiquated with case law dating back to 1970.
