Who keeps the pooch when your relationship breaks down?

Welcome to the April 2026 edition of the Mander Hadley newswire, designed to keep you updated with our firm and the wider legal market.

In this edition, we delve into how employers can stay compliant with the latest Employment Rights Act reforms and how you can protect your estate from estranged relatives.

Our Director and Head of our Family Law team, Stuart Daniel, breaks down what happens to your pet when a relationship breaks down and how narcissistic traits can affect child custody arrangements.

Finally, our property team explore the conveyancing process for first-time buyers and how to manage dilapidations claims when your commercial property lease comes to an end.
