As 2022 draws to a close, all of us at Today’s Media would like to extend the very warmest of wishes to all our readers, partners, contributors, and friends.
In 2022, our popular Today’s publications have grown in their respective fields of expertise: conveyancing, wills and probate, and family law. They have been complemented by a wider pool of contributors and regular writers, and we’re very grateful to organisations and individuals including the Legal Ombudsman, STEP, the anonymous author of our Diary of a High Street Conveyancer, our Cyber Conveyancer, the Conveyancing Association, and many more. Next year we hope to expand these columns and bring you more features and articles from around the legal industry.
Alongside daily news, industry insight, regulatory updates and best practice, 2022 has seen the launch of three podcasts: Today’s Conveyancer, Today’s Wills and Probate, and Today’s Family Lawyer Podcasts respectively. They discuss the topics of the day and introduce listeners to the wide array of individuals and organisations who contribute to the success of the legal industry. With a mix of business and industry insight, innovation, and knowledge sharing, the podcasts are a “must-listen” for legal practitioners.
