Dear reader – Legal Week moves with the times with redesign
It isn't often that we would devote our leader column to changes at Legal Week itself, but this week is different. As you can see, this issue – whether you are reading the print or the iPad edition – marks the final step in our evolution from breaking news in the magazine. Our strategy has long been to direct our energy on breaking news online rather than in the pages of Legal Week, so the move to a picture front and a focus on comment and analysis is simply the last stage of this journey.

It isn't often that we would devote our leader column to changes at Legal Week itself, but this week is different.
As you can see, this issue – whether you are reading the print or the iPad edition – marks the final step in our evolution from breaking news in the magazine.
Our strategy has long been to direct our energy on breaking news online rather than in the pages of Legal Week, so the move to a picture front and a focus on comment and analysis is simply the last stage of this journey.
News will be as important to us as it always has been but, as events happen in real time not weekly, the magazine is not the right place to break it. Instead we will use the magazine to deliver concise commentary and analysis of the latest developments within law firms, in-house departments and the wider legal market, alongside a summary of the week's biggest online news and deal stories in case you missed them.
But even with regard to our analysis and commentary, please don't expect it to appear in the magazine first. We will publish all of our articles online as and when they are ready.
We understand that, in a fast-moving world, our readers will be impatient for important news to be put into context and will not appreciate having to wait several days for it to be published.
With our move from a free magazine to a fully paid-for subscription title now complete, the success of Legal Week hangs entirely on the quality of our content and our ability to deliver it to our readership, and we now have more freedom to write what we want and what you, hopefully, want to read – editorially driven features.
We hope you agree that the new format helps achieve this goal. But the magazine is just one of several changes at Legal Week. We are constantly aiming to improve the quality of our journalism and sharpen our focus on the top end of the market, providing news, opinion, interviews and analysis relevant to senior lawyers working in the world's leading law firms and legal departments.
Meanwhile, we will continue to improve the other ways we deliver our content. Watch out for further developments on legalweek.com, including a vastly improved mobile version, as well as the imminent launch of Legal Week's Android App.
We hope you enjoy the new format but please do get in touch if you have any suggestions.
