What is the book you recommend to everyone?

I love many and there is not a special one I could recommend.

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

Increased complexity of the issues we deal with will require even more concerted efforts by teams staffed from various firms, disciplines and countries. This development is likely to also have an impact on how we collaborate and deliver our services to clients and the use of collaborative platforms might increase. I expect the trend we observe with regard to increasing litigious work to continue.
