Looking to the Future: What is Changing in Law and Practice
By Lawyers is pleased to release a major update to its forward-looking briefing, Looking to the Future – a comprehensive, practice-wide resource detailing the key legislative and regulatory developments that will shape the legal landscape across 2025 and beyond.
This update equips practitioners with a succinct, expertly curated overview of pending reforms across all major legal practice areas. From employment and family law to private client, company, immigration, and property, the document highlights forthcoming Acts, consultations, and regulatory trends that will influence both case strategy and client advisory work. It also captures wider developments affecting law firm management, such as AI regulation, SRA consultations, and the evolving approach to professional standards and client money.
Whether advising on leasehold reform, data protection changes, new duties for company directors, the future of surrogacy law, or potential reforms to the will-making process, practitioners will find timely insights designed to support proactive client service and risk management. The update offers not only a summary of developments but also context, helping firms anticipate the commercial, procedural, and ethical implications of reform.
Subscribers and prospective users of By Lawyers’ guides will benefit from integrating Looking to the Future into their strategic planning and client communications. It is a practical companion to By Lawyers’ core commentary and checklists, offering early notice of developments before they appear in formal guidance or case law.
Looking to the Future can be found in the Reference Materials folder of every matter plan.
