A new feature we (OCA) introduced on Speech Day were "goodie bags" and personalized notes for each of the graduating students. These were available at the Bubbly Tents we supported also. This reflects the welcome we (OCA) offer the Class of '23 - and futu…lnkd.in/ergHWUXT

I’m interested to know if there are any lawsuits, perhaps even class actions, against HP for its abusive use of software, which disables customers’ printers if they don’t specifically buy HP cartridges (which everyone knows are far more expensive than oth…lnkd.in/eNXhhrui

We’re starting to see some of the benefits of this common conversational meeting format - feedback on ideas, support and encouragement, increased cultural awareness, insights on trends and technologies, one-on-one breakouts and peer support - just to name…lnkd.in/eGN2t9Ev

Does this represent a simpler solution for AML regulation or just over-simplification (or even under-resourcing) in such a critical area worldwide? Source - Law Society Gazette: lnkd.in/e5Uea-_F #hipcounsel #AML #amlcompli…lnkd.in/esRbzQvs lnkd.in/eNcvxhE9

Very interesting initiative and I’m sure of interest for those of us in litigation and ADR circles. I wholeheartedly agree with challenging the decision. In my view the only way to cut vast UK court backlogs is to mandate ADR before cases can be filed. Th…lnkd.in/eBjZb3AM

Last person out, switch off the lights on this ongoing debacle. Fiasco doesn't even come close. Too many tea and biscuits committee meetings and not enough actually getting the job done. What a colossal wasted opportunity to improv…lnkd.in/eqwDKGSy lnkd.in/eVaJgZTV
