This is the sixth year that the ALG Knowledge team has published its report looking at the year’s key legal developments and those in the pipeline.
This year’s Report contains insight pieces from our Knowledge Lawyers covering a broad range of topics, including anti-money laundering, asset management and investment funds, finance and financial regulation, corporate law, data protection, employment law, litigation and property law.
The Report also features an article written by Dr Vincent Power, Head of EU, Competition & Procurement, which provides an overview of the key developments and trends over the last year. It also discusses the impacts and lessons learned from these changes.
Michael Neill, partner and Head of our Belfast office, shares his insights on some of the business and market dynamics in Northern Ireland. On a more personal note, he shares his experiences of how the Belfast office is managing a hybrid working model.
Alison Fanagan, Ann Shiels and Chris Stynes conduct a very interesting analysis of significant developments in climate, environment and sustainable finance, with some useful signposting for what lies ahead in this important area.
The legal updates in the Report are laid out in three sections: ‘2021 at a glance’ highlights the key themes of the past year and is followed by a review of the year’s legal developments. Each update finishes with a brief ‘looking ahead’ to developments on the horizon.
