What a great column, Oliver! Love this: ‘As lawyers, writing is our superpower. We use words like a surgeon uses a scalpel. Our words have a magic to them that we should not be so willing to give up on and hand over to a machine.’ Really looking forward to your next one.

LAG’s Housing Law Conferences are always very special. My first ever was run by a couple of pioneering housing lawyers by the names of Jan Luba & Nic Madge. Today’s conference has an equally impressive line up - sharing knowledge & skills. Thank you all!
It’s today!! We are very excited at LAG. We have a sell out conference with stella speakers. It’s going to be a great day. #HousingJustice
