The earlier record.
Practice notes and articles published on the firm's previous site, kept here for reference rather than removed.
These pages have not been reviewed since they were first published, and the frameworks they describe may since have changed. They are retained because they remain useful background, not because they state the firm's current position. For that, see the positions on the record — each one signed, dated, and current as at a stated date.
