Welcome to our fifteenth issue of lindsays life
This issue looks at challenges that affect many of us day-to-day – how to make family life run smoothly, how to get a sensible work-life balance, and how to look out for our loved ones.
In terms of making family life run smoothly, we have articles on how to move on after divorce; grandparents’ rights to see grandchildren; and whether a postnuptial agreement can be the secret of a great marriage.
There’s also a piece on the ‘right to disconnect’ from work emails and calls, and how employers can manage their policies on that.
Planning for the future and looking out for loved ones is challenging because the unexpected does happen. The death of a partner is not something anyone wants to think about, but some basic planning can prevent a difficult situation getting even worse. So, it’s worth reading the articles four (‘Safe as houses…’) and eight (‘I wish I’d known this’).
On a happier note, we offer some tips around buying a second home (article four), and becoming a charity trustee (article nine). And we fire the starting pistol for the next Lindsays National Cross Country Championships season.
We also congratulate Eilish McColgan, who is sponsored by Lindsays and won an impressive silver medal in the 5000 metres race at the 2018 European Championships. In article fourteen, she tells us about her determination to get children into sport.
Congratulations also go to our latest cohort of new trainees and newly-qualified solicitors (see article fifteen). They have a bright future in front of them, and we’re delighted to start them on their career journey.
We very much hope you enjoy this issue of lindsays life and find it useful.
