Employment alert - 12 January 2023
What to expect in employment law in 2023. 12 months ago we published a similar article looking ahead to what 2022 might bring to the world of employment law. It is fair to say that while some predictions were borne out, 2022 also threw its fair share of curve balls.
Finance Focus - November 2022
No doubt clients and colleagues outside the UK have observed with interest how the UK political landscape has recently been buffeted and overturned by market forces.
BioBrief - November 2022
A key strategic issue for many seeking partnerships with Big Pharma or other sources of funding is the robustness of the patent portfolio. IP issues feature in two contributions to this month’s BioBrief: in the first, my colleague Dr Amanda Easey and I present a videocast on the recent decision of the Patents Court.
PennTech update - Autumn 2022
Welcome to our latest edition of the PennTech update.

Dark Matters - Cyber security and cryptocurrency update - 5 October 2022
Welcome to the fifth edition of Dark Matters, a newsletter that highlights some of the most newsworthy headlines in the blockchain space. With the summer having officially drawn to a close, we witnessed one of the most anticipated events in blockchain, Ethereum’s shift from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake consensus mechanism known as The Merge.
Employment alert - 26 August 2022
A debate has long taken place in the higher tribunals and courts as to whether an employee is being dismissed for making a protected disclosure ('blowing the whistle') or for the unacceptable manner in which the employee did so. In this article, we look at the Court of Appeal’s decision in the case of Kong v Gulf International Bank (UK) Limited.
PennTech update – Summer 2022
Welcome to our summer edition of the PennTech update. In this edition, we look back on our recent involvement in London Tech Week, which included hosting our hybrid NFTs readiness event, releasing our cyber security and data protection toolkit and launching a new immigration-focused podcast featuring Russ Shaw CBE..
Dark Matters - Cyber security and cryptocurrency update - July 2022
The recent tumult in the crypto industry has been coined a “crypto winter”, so you would be forgiven for thinking the industry has permanently turned. As you will see from the articles below, the industry is still buoyant. Bad actors continue to seek to exploit it, and law makers and regulators continue to grapple with various issues.
Social housing newsletter - 30 May 2022
Welcome to the latest edition of our social housing newsletter. In this edition, we remind you about The New Homes Quality Code and the actions you need to take before the end of 2022. Find out how the Code might affect you in Linda Storey and Ben Robinson's article. In our second article, we learn about the consequences of delays when landlords receive a request to assign a lease. Lucy Norton looks at a case that was featured in the national press earlier this year and how its outcome has implications for social housing landlords.
BioBrief - May 2022
Welcome to the spring edition of BioBrief. We start this edition with an article I wrote recently for OBN Connect magazine which covers the challenges faced by Biotech founders on spin-out and the career change it requires. This is something that I am familiar with as I changed my career from project manager of global clinical trials for IQVIA to being an IP lawyer.
Finance Focus - May 2022
In our February Finance Focus we highlighted the likely sanctions that would result from a Russian invasion or incursion into Ukraine. The devastating military action that followed has meant that many of those sanctions predictions are now in place and likely to remain so for some time ahead.
Charity sector update - May 2022
We are delighted to share a round-up of recent articles published by members of our charity sector team. These insights include: charity law news, reporting serious incidents to the Charity Commission, charities and the inheritance of property, when running a small charity becomes too expensive, employment law update, legal training and professional development for the charities sector.
Dark Matters - Cyber security and cryptocurrency update - 12 April 2022
As the days are growing longer, the crypto industry continues to deepen bringing more news, enhanced regulation and, of course, scandal. Even Netflix has caught crypto mania, with “Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King” exploring the QuadrigaCX / Gerry Cotton scandal of 2018.
Employment alert - 8 April 2022
JP Morgan trader unfairly dismissed: how do employment tribunals align with FCA compliance considerations? Jones v JP Morgan Securities Plc (No.1) [2021] 6 WLUK 722.
Financial services regulatory alert - 8 April 2022
JP Morgan trader unfairly dismissed: how do employment tribunals align with FCA compliance considerations? Jones v JP Morgan Securities Plc (No.1) [2021] 6 WLUK 722. This case serves as a useful reminder that natural justice and an assessment of fitness and propriety go hand in hand in financial services firms and, if they do not, the penalties for a firm can be significant. JP Morgan was ordered to pay Mr Jones £1.5 million in lost earnings and to re-engage him in its Hong Kong office.
