While I am writing this editorial spring is awakening here in Germany and I am sure also many of you are excited about the upcoming European Regional Conference on the sunny island of Malta. It will be a fabulous occasion for all members to catch up with old friends, make new ones and discuss the latest developments in business and commerce.
Thanks to the wonderful contributions of our members to this issue of our Practice Group Newsletter we are able to present to you a highly interesting overview on current developments of the law in ten different countries. I warmly recommend all articles to you.
I am very grateful that so many members have again contributed to this issue of our Practice Group Newsletter – in addition to their day-to-day business.
Our lead article “California adopts new early disclosure rule” is written by Peter S. Selvin from our member Ervin Cohen & Jessup LLP (USA). This is followed by an “Introduction the UK’s Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA)” by Louise Hodges from our member Kingsley Napley (UK), the article on how “Online hearings streamline international cases” by Jakub Kulicki from our member Penteris (Poland), and a report on “Scotland’s new Mental Health Moratorium” by Alan Munro from our member Wright Johnston & Mackenzie LLP (Scotland).

John Matouk, Dr Mohamed Shehata and Mariam Metwally of our member Matouk Bassiouny & Hennawy (Egypt).
Our Practice Group Newsletter features articles both on procedural and substantive law, as well as overviews of selected aspects of litigation in our member’s jurisdictions. I am sure it contains an article also of relevance to your daily practise.
