Change has come – do the right thing, right now

This really had to be a Covid-19 issue. As we return with our first issue of IHL since before lockdown began, we hope this finds you all in robust mood, ready to help guide your businesses through this latest patch of turbulence despite the post-apocalyptic headlines thrust in front of you on a daily basis.

The theme of this issue is rescue, support and recovery, which is why we have features on the role mediation plays in mitigating the effects of the Covid-19 crisis on businesses, the courts and the economy; how the employment law landscape has changed to factor in home-working and greater consideration for frontline workers; and how new legislation has torn up the rulebook for restructuring and insolvency to help UK Plc weather the crisis.
