As 2009 ushers in new regulations as part of the Legal Services Act (LSA) 2007 to support multidisciplinary partnerships and firm-based regulations, understandably there is apprehension among some segments of the industry in terms of its implications for law firms. However, regulation is the catalyst for change, which, if dealt with in the right spirit, is usually for the better. In the current economic climate, the LSA is a positive development for the UK's legal sector.

At the report's launch earlier this month, delegates lucky enough to have signed off systems upgrades in last year's budgets breathed a sigh of relief as they listened to their counterparts' problems after orders to reign in costs for the foreseeable future.

For most people advertising is part and parcel of their online experience: sometimes useful, sometimes irritating, but perhaps most often ignored. However, there have been significant developments in online advertising recently which are causing debate among privacy professionals - particularly relating to behavioural or personalised internet advertising. Should those of us who are concerned about privacy really be cautious about embracing these new technologies?
