Many survivors of child sexual abuse do not feel able to come forward until years, or even decades, after the abuse took place.

Changes to the Crime and Policing Bill will remove the current three-year time limit for bringing civil claims, helping to improve access to justice for survivors of historic abuse.

Once the amendments come into law later this month, courts will now focus on whether a fair trial can still take place, rather than how much time has passed.

Our specialist team remains committed to supporting survivors with sensitivity, confidentiality and understanding.

One of the most common questions our Trusts & Estates team receives is: "Will I have to pay Inheritance Tax?" Closely followed by: "How can I reduce my liability?"

In her latest blog, Senior Associate Lawyer Shivali Gill TEP breaks down the key things everyone should know about IHT, including:

- What Inheritance Tax is and when it applies
- The current allowances available, including the Nil Rate Band and Residence Nil Rate Band
- How married couples and civil partners may be able to pass on up to £1 million tax-free
- Practical ways to reduce your estate's exposure to IHT through gifting and estate planning

With IHT charged at up to 40% on qualifying estates, taking advice early could help preserve more of your wealth for the people you care about most.

As Shivali says, why pay more tax than necessary when there may be legitimate ways to pass more on to your loved ones?

Six-figure settlement secured following a serious workplace accident.

Our client suffered significant back injuries after a pipe attached to a tanker split unexpectedly during a delivery, leaving him unable to return to work.

Despite complications involving an underlying condition and a complex claims process, Paul Woolliscroft and our Personal Injury team secured an admission of liability, supported the client's rehabilitation and successfully negotiated a six-figure settlement.

We're proud to have achieved a strong outcome that will help our client and his family move forward with their lives.

Being involved in a car accident is stressful. But what happens when the other vehicle is an ambulance, police car or fire engine responding to an emergency?

Many people assume the emergency driver is never at fault, but that's not always the case.

In our latest blog, Personal Injury specialist Perminder Devgun explains how these accidents are investigated, who may be responsible, and what rights you have if you've been involved in a collision with an emergency response vehicle.

But what exactly is an LPA, what types are available, and when should you consider putting one in place?

In our latest blog, Karolina Peplinska explores the importance of LPAs and why having one could provide invaluable peace of mind for the future.
