What changes do you expect to see in your practice over the next year?

I expect that there will be more and more divorces resolved privately, without the need to go to court. An increasing number of clients choose to divorce privately and appoint retired High Court Judges or KCs to assess the merits of a case in a private court hearing. A large proportion of my cases settle at private court hearings and I suspect that its popularity will increase over the next year.
