Each one is a short, practical guide that clearly identifies the steps to be taken, and issues to be considered, when seeking to complete a specific, discrete, administrative legal task. The guides are likely to be particularly useful for in-house lawyers, company secretaries, junior lawyers, law students and non-lawyers. Each ‘how to’ guide contains links to Practice Notes and Q&As for further detail, as well as other resources.
