Corporate & Securities Law

Wrapping it up, 7 April 2008

John M. Gray holds several functions at public services union UNISON and is a pension representative at the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). In addition, he keeps John’s Labour blog, on political and trade union issues. Bearing that in mind, to read his account of a Trades Union Congress seminar on class actions and plaintiffs’ lawyers in the UK see his post Class Action at the TUC.

Also of interest, an article by Barlow Lyde & Gilbert LLP (first published in The Banker) elaborating on the UK claimant situation following the ‘credit crunch’ after a brief comparison with the US.

And one off the shelf is a January article in The Lawyer, on Proskauer Rose LLP’s 2008 Trends and Developments report. (press release) One of the trends in the report is ‘[t]he continued (albeit lamented) “Americanization” of non-US legal systems’ (from page 11). (Subscribe to WV&Z.)
