Election day is now upon us, and voters have begun exercising their democratic rights in polling stations up and down the country. Given the demands of City life, many lawyers are likely to be placing their votes close to this evening's deadline, and, as such, there is still time for floating voters to weigh up their options.
While a recent Legal Week survey of partners found that 64% plan to vote Conservative, certain sections of the profession – such as those directly affected by the coalition's hard line on legal aid and its knock-on effect on the criminal Bar – may have other ideas.
If you are among the undecided, then enlightenment could be found on Legal Week Law, our briefings library, which features a selection of articles tackling pertinent issues related to the election, from planning and infrastructure to retail, retirement and Labour's headline-making proposal to scrap non-dom tax status.
