Law and business: commercial news round-up 30.05.14

First and foremost, we must draw your attention to the Guardian's "Special report: an outsider’s guide to the City of London". It contains interviews with bankers, lawyers and others in the “UK’s financial HQ” which shed light on what the culture is really like. It provides cutting analysis and asks some key questions, such as, post-crash, what’s it like to work there? Who inhabits the big shiny buildings? And can it be made "disaster-proof"? It’s a long, but very interesting and enlightening read.

Plus these other interesting articles, not to be missed:

• The Serious Fraud Office has launched an investigation into the sales practices of GlaxoSmithKline, following the decision by Chinese authorities to do so.
• Beats is bought by Apple for $3 billion - worth scrolling down the article just for the awkward pic of Apple execs with Dr Dre.
• Driving up fraud cases: what are the implications for the insurance industry of an increasingly high number of fake car crashes?
