Law and business: commercial news round-up 24.01.14
updated on 24 January 2014
Check out this handful of big business stories that piqued our interest - as they should yours - from the broadsheets this week:
- The biggest economic stories this week were all to do with the goings-on at Davos, the World Economic Forum. Climate change, Iran’s nuclear weapons, Goldie Hawn (say what?) - they’re all either under discussion or in Goldie’s case, doing the discussing.
- News that China's economic growth was slowing down ever so slightly has both positive and negative implications, says the ever insightful Robert Peston.
- The European Court of Justice rejected the UK government's attempt to limit the extent to which the European Union can ban certain financial practices, such as short-selling betting.
- "It's the economy, stupid": a provocative title from Lloyds Bank's head of professional services Chris Marston, as he discussed law firms' prospects in 2014, in light of an improving economy.
