Newsletter 2018

We are honored to bring to you our new book, "Newsletter 2018". This year marks the ninth edition of our book that has been published since 2010. At the end of each year, we compile the articles that are posted monthly on our website into a book to allow our readers a collective outlook on the year's key legal developments. Our Newsletter book is the product of an ongoing tradition. This tradition is to research a wide variety of legal disciplines, some of which are in new areas of law developed in parallel to meet the needs of the today's business, and to publish this research.(FROM THE PREFACE)
