iHelp - the best new gadgets for lawyers
By Legal Week | March 10, 2010
I like the way the guys who run the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) think. January, after all, already has enough strikes against it - bad weather, the post-holiday return to work, all those resolutions I'll never keep. Why not brighten the mood with a peek at great technology that's soon to hit the market? Each year, CES comes through - and this year was no exception. But 2010 did have a twist. The most-anticipated product announcement - Apple's iPad - came several weeks after the big show ended, from a company that has historically opted out of CES in favour of more intimate unveilings.

Real Madrid
By Charlotte Edmond | March 3, 2010
Few cities have a reputation for being as lively and energetic as Madrid. Madrilenos know how to have a good time: a visit to this most Spanish of Spain's cities unfailingly leads to late-night cocktails in one of its many bars and over-indulgence in one of its celebrated tapas bars. In Spain's capital, nightlife is matched only by its culture and style, with several world-famous museums and shopping streets that rival any other European capital.

Islands in the sun
By Legal Week | February 24, 2010
With the recent introduction of the 50% tax rate, Guernsey has already welcomed a number of high-profile new residents and the trend is expected to continue throughout 2010 and beyond. While HMRC and the likes of Terra Firma's Guy Hands have ensured that the island has received many more column inches of late, there's no doubt that Guernsey is proving to be an attractive alternative to the UK's gloomy economic climate and the increasing strain on taxpayers' wallets.

Lawyers in love
By Legal Week | February 10, 2010
It's a cold February morning in Brooklyn Heights, New York, and the Seymours are huddled under the duvet, each clicking on his-and-her BlackBerrys. Across the bridge, the DeMasis are in the kitchen of their Upper West Side Manhattan apartment, eyes also fixed on their incoming email messages, as their kids clamour for Cheerios. Halfway across the country, on a leafy street in Houston, the Rodriguezes are getting their daughters ready for school as they - you guessed it - toy with their BlackBerrys.

On the fiddle
By Legal Week | February 3, 2010
Music has always been a big part of my life. I started learning the piano and the violin at primary school, but my road to Damascus moment happened after arriving at secondary school and discovering traditional fiddle music. To begin with, I played with some of the big fiddle orchestras and fiddlers' rallies all over Scotland. In 1978, at the ripe old age of 15, I went to a residential fiddle course at the University of Stirling, which changed my life. While these courses are now extremely popular and held all over the world, this was the first fiddle course of its kind. It introduced me to the incredible variety of fiddle music encompassed in the Scottish tradition.

Representing status, success and wealth, the member's club has long been part of the City scenery. But with a growing wave of modern, fashionable entrants into the market, joining a club does not have to mean evenings sipping whisky in wingback chairs.
