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

Clients become more cost-sensitive and at the same time more cautious in terms of the person who advises them in personal matters. It is therefore why integrity and professional excellence will become ever more important in the near future, which is why it will not be enough to simply be affiliated to a reputable firm. One's personal track-record is what matters.
